COVID-19 offers an opportunity to step up and improve health care for patients.
"Providers have found the shift to virtual care challenging but have stepped up at a record pace. Physicians and their office teams rapidly and successfully pivoted to deliver healthcare online. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona (BCBSAZ) data shows that telemedicine visits spiked to 50 times higher than before the pandemic. According to the Harris Poll COVID-19 Tracker*, 89% of the public agrees that everyone should have access to telehealth. It has not been easy, and it has not been perfect, but our talented medical community is delivering excellent, compassionate care in a virtual setting."

The pandemic has taken a toll on many Americans' mental health. Depression, anxiety, and stress have increased. Here's how providers can help their patients.
"In the study led by Boston University researchers, nearly 30 percent (27.8 percent) of adults reported depression symptoms compared to 8.5 percent before the pandemic.

Plus, 59 percent of men have felt isolated during the pandemic and 45 percent say their emotional/mental health has worsened during the pandemic."
