Service workers are suffering from COVID-19 much more than the 1%.
In addition, given the fundamental shifts to self service models that are likely to persist after the pandemic, many service jobs are unlikely to return. Sick care is no exception. If data is the new oil, sickcare is the new coal. Welcome to the sickcare version of thehybrid economy.
DIY medicine is becoming commonplace. For patients, conveniencecare beats value-based care. Amedzon is your new medical center. Retail medicine and medical department stores are here to stay.
So, what should you do now if you are a medical practitioner or health service organization to thrive in the sickcare self service economy?
Prepare now. Don't be caught wondering why you didn't see it coming.
