As C4UHC members know, the pandemic exposed various deficiencies in our healthcare system, such as securing PPE and proper allocation of medical staff where needed. Healthcare providers that lacked consistent credentialing systems for vendors only compounded the gridlocks they had to overcome at critical moments.

According to this column in Fortune magazine, COVID reminded us all that patients and professionals, not numbers, should always be our top priorities.

It’s about whether we can make the best use of our shared time and resources. It’s about whether our friends, neighbors, and loved ones can get the care they deserve.”
