a How COVID-19 Has Impacted the Healthcare System by richardtrogman | Jun 2, 2022 | healthcare, los angeles, richard trogman
The global pandemic has turned the world upside down. Its impact has been felt in every community and nation, and life has changed for billions of people. The primary effect of it has been the deaths of millions and the illnesses of many millions more. Economic uncertainty has also been a big part of it, and political turmoil has come about because of it in many places. However, how COVID-19 has impacted healthcare might be where it has struck the deepest. The immediate and direct impact of the pandemic on the healthcare system has played itself out quite obviously. ICU wards filled up fast, with no beds available in many areas. Doctors, nurses, and technicians must now wear personal protective equipment all the time at work. Elective surgeries and screenings have been postponed in many places, and many patients have adapted to telehealth or virtual visits instead of going into their doctors’ offices.
