So we're trying to use this downtime (for the non-busy) to work on infrastructure projects that we never have time to do. My practice is upgrading it's EMR with a go-live date of May 2021. We're doubling the implementation meetings for April and May because we know we're going to have a lopsided summer.
We aren't looking at layoffs, but some places are. Which is insane given that HC is the heart and soul of this thing.

They’re furloughing docs and nurses and pas in nonessential areas in various parts of this state.
It’s nuts. I know of highly paid admin in these systems who aren’t essential who aren’t getting furloughed or even had their pay cut. But actual medical professional are. Seems bizarre.
