In speaking with a few hospitals on the front lines these past few days, administrators/CEO's expressing serious concern of PTSD amongst their clinicians and staff. Extreme experiences compared to normal, multiples more dying patients, personal safety risks and sick colleagues...
Likely to see a lot of mental health consequences unfortunately. Really overlooked potential consequence of covid-19, and hope we don't lose attention/focus on these heroes.
In addition, hospitals are easy off of revenue 60-70+%, due to losing basically every other revenue stream (elective surgeries, routine ER visits, etc.). Meeting payroll in future may not be a given. Low margin, capital intensive systems = lack of flexibility to adapt financially
