COVID-19’s impact on healthcare
1/12/2021
Setting a smart emergency preparedness strategy
for healthcare organizations.
Overnight, COVID-19 dramatically changed the way we live,
work, and interact with each other. As various parts of the
country have slowly reopened, the continued spread of
COVID-19 requires hospitals to be “on the ready” across much of
the United States. This guide provides five steps hospitals and
health systems can take to respond to the current crisis while
laying the groundwork for the “new normal” and support for the
next crises that could arise.
As COVID-19 emerged, hospitals and health systems temporarily
shut down or suspended elective procedures. While many of us
were asked to shelter-in-place or practice social distancing for
extended periods, essential employees could not. Provider
organizations needed to not only respond, but also plan for
any eventuality.
Healthcare business platforms need to account for
these functions:
■ Staff Scheduling
■ Monitoring time and attendance
■ Developing new skills for employees for future career paths
■ Managing enterprise facilities
■ Locating people, assets, and supplies
■ Determining financial viability
■ Meeting regulatory interoperability requirements
■ Supporting diverse supply management models
To create empowering experiences for the healthcare workforce, consider the following:
■Guide and analyze treasury and cash management
■Understand accurate service line and departmental profitability
■ Enable capital investment decisions based on ROI and payback calculations
■ Assist in determining appropriate growth opportunities for development and investment; highlight unprofitable business lines to divest
■ Manage merger and acquisition activity fluctuations
■Leverage accurate cost data to support value-based negotiations with payers
■Automate manual tasks
■Monitor governance risk and compliance
■Provide fraud management

Challenging cloud migration myths amidst Covid-19
29/9/2020
Myth 1: Companies should hold tight and do nothing in the wake of Covid-19 as moving IT operations to the cloud is too risky.
This is absolutely not true. While it might seem scary to overhaul IT operations at such an uncertain time and invest in cloud computing technology, there is no doubt that it will be worth it in the long run. Business leaders and IT directors are understandably apprehensive about buying into a cloud migration platform when their budgets are already strapped and the future of their business is uncertain, however, our own research has proven migrating to the cloud can have significant financial benefits.
