With COVID-19’s critical global impact and how the healthcare industry dealt with the lingering effects in 2021, it is imperative to strategically plan ahead as the New Year begins. The healthcare industry must adjust processes, consider new settings of care, and proactively plan for the future of service lines. Key service lines, including Corazon’s niched specialties of orthopedic, spine, neuroscience, and cardiac, were significantly impacted with at least a 60% decline in volumes. Programs must confront this service disruption now by creating and implementing ACTIONABLE plans to resume “normal” operations and recoup lost revenues.

• The impact of COVID-19 on service lines and how to best implement service recovery strategies to recoup lost volume and revenue from these last nine months.
• The importance of having a fully-staffed and qualified team amid shortages of all types of specialty physicians and program leaders.
• Why accreditation and peer review services are viable strategies to proactively ensure quality of care and efficiency of operations.
• How acute care facilities must not only stay relevant on price and access, but they must learn to evolve and take care of more complex patients as well.
• The rationale for moving increasingly complex cases to an outpatient / ASC setting and how this will impact operations and market capture for your hospital.
