COVID-19 & the Pediatric Healthcare Landscape with Madeleine McDowell, MD, Karyl Kopaskie, PhD and Raphe Schwartz (S4:E8)

As the United States enters the eighth month of the pandemic surrounded by a backdrop of payer pressures, demands for virtual care and societal unrest, our healthcare system is challenged daily to navigate uncharted territory. From rapid scaling COVID-19 testing and safety operations to securing PPE from disrupted supply chains, and trying to assure patient families that it is safe to continue to come to clinics and hospitals for care….

Our pediatric healthcare landscape has forever been changed by COVID-19. And as COVID-19 cases are surging across the U.S. and parts of Europe, we are acutely reminded that end of the pandemic is not readily in sight. In this episode, we will discuss the pediatric healthcare landscape and its forecasted pandemic recovery and considerations for primary care providers.

On this episode we are joined by Children's Hospital Colorado Chief Strategy Officer Raphe Schwartz, and from Sg2 Healthcare Intelligence services, Karyl Kopaskie, PhD, Associate Principal; and Madeleine McDowell, MD, Principal and Medical Director.
