Talking Points from Phil Crowley on Government Regulations
and Healthcare Surrounding COVID-19
:

  • Healthcare professionals are reluctant to practice outside their specialty or licensure areas for fear of liability. 
  • This reduces the pool of healthcare professionals available to help in “hot spots.”

  • Government has responded. 
  • Federal government has initiated waivers of some of their barriers. 
  • Importantly a number of States have provided immunity laws to protect healthcare workers (including medical students) from liability for well-intentioned acts. 
  • Telemedicine has also been a beneficiary—it’s gaining more attention from the regulators as a means to prevent unnecessary emergency room visits. 
  • All of this will lead to questions once the crisis is over—Why can’t we have many of these improvements continue? 
  • There will be topics for debate within government and also from interested citizen groups.
