Practices Get Back to Work and the New Normal
Summary
Physicians and medical staff are getting caught up on missed surgeries and preventive health appointments now that COVID-19 cases are dropping and vaccinations are becoming more available. For many of us, it may seem as though every healthcare worker is on the front lines fighting COVID-19; however, many medical professionals were at home waiting to get back to work like millions of other Americans. This might result in extra back-office preparation and authorizations, which mean additional labor demands for an industry that’s already running thin on medical and back-office staff. The healthcare unemployment rate is one of the lowest across all industries, and post-COVID it is getting even harder to find trained staff for multiple reasons, including early retirements for qualified older staff as they’re afraid to go back to work, stimulus funds flooding some households, and of course the extra demands of labor that post-COVID is causing to the healthcare industry. Medical practices don’t have to worry about hiring/firing, unemployment, disability, workers compensation, medical/dental/life insurance, 401(k), or vacation or sick time.
