Healthcare systems across the globe are grappling with similar issues: managing rising costs, achieving better outcomes, developing more patient-focused care, and adapting to new technologies. In addition to these ongoing challenges, the COVID-19 pandemic has created extraordinary new pressures and risks, not only for healthcare providers and staff but for entire communities and countries.
Supplementing the ongoing Insights Series, we have now launched a new set of publications, Insights Series – The New Normal. This special edition is focusing on the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides recommendations on how to confront the current SARS-CoV-2 outbreak and its implications, as well as strategies and ideas on how to emerge from the current crisis stronger, more resilient, and better prepared to address the healthcare challenges that lie ahead.
