It’s safe to say at this point that there is no aspect of our collective lives that has not been impacted by COVID-19. Schools are closed and work methods as we know them have drastically changed. We’re being ordered to stay in our homes by local officials and droves of people are overwhelming the healthcare system across the globe with this novel strain of the virus. No industry seems to be untouched, but healthcare is certainly taking the brunt. While those on the frontlines fight to stay well and equipped to deal with this medical crisis, administrators and health infrastructure staff are scrambling to provide timely support and still execute on planned initiatives to benefit providers and patients. It is still possible to follow through with planned healthcare IT projects, but it’s worth acknowledging how Epic implementation efforts could be impacted by COVID-19…and to plan accordingly.
