Abstract

The coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) public health emergency created an economic crisis with unprecedented and far-reaching impacts across the health sector. Among the greatest challenge areas experienced were in areas of changing supply and demand, rising costs, decreased revenue, and widening health inequities (Blumenthal etal. N Engl J Med 383:1483–1488, 2020; Cypress, Nurs Forum 57:323–327, 2022; Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, National health spending in 2020 increases due to impact of COVID-19 pandemic, 2021). As we emerge from the pandemic, we must capitalize on the opportunity to transform and adapt to be better equipped to handle the next public health crisis. This article examines the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and preparedness strategies within the context of the United States.
