Episode Synopsis
COVID-19 has hit practices hard on many fronts and especially financially. The first, and most obvious, has been the costly response to the outbreak itself. Second, the patient volume has dramatically reduced, and all elective procedures postponed. While some relief has been provided, it is not enough. Practices must come up with a plan to rebound financially.
Jeffery and Leah discuss the innovative ways Allscripts is helping practices respond to COVID-19 and rebound from financial distress.
