Covid-19: Requesting Medical Backup
en

What’s critical right now for frontline healthcare providers in the US? First, the redeployment of other specialists in the hospital to help. Clearer communication and increased telehealth round out frontline emergency and intensive care unit providers’  top requests in a survey conducted by Bain & Company during the last week of March. Other specialists are gearing up to help, but also need support, particularly training on response roles, according to survey respondents.

Joshua Weisbrod leads Bain’s Healthcare practice in the Americas and is a partner based in New York. Michael Brookshire is a partner in Bain’s Healthcare practice and is based in Dallas. Erin Ney is a board-certified internist and an expert manager in Bain’s Healthcare practice based in Boston.
