- Abstract:
- On behalf of the California Health Care Foundation (CHCF), Goodwin Simon Strategic Research conducted a California statewide online survey among doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and behavioral health specialists to assess their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey was designed to explore five key areas: (1) Health care providers' experience in providing care during the pandemic. Questions on this topic explore morale and burnout, perceptions of risk of contracting COVID-19 in the workplace, availability of needed personal protective equipment and COVID-19 testing, and job-related impacts such as being laid off, furloughed, or having hours or pay cut (among other consequences). (2) Experience with telehealth. The survey assesses providers' use of telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic, their impressions of telehealth, and their interest in continuing to use telehealth after the COVID-19 pandemic ends. (3) Patient behavioral health and physical health impacts. This includes perceived increases in mental health impacts, increased use of alcohol or other drugs, and the role of COVID-19's mental impacts on their patients' ability to maintain their physical health. (4) Public health preparedness. Questions in this area focus on speed of patient COVID-19 test results and vaccine and surge preparedness. (5) Financial and workforce impacts. This includes impacts the COVID-19 pandemic is having on patient volume, financial instability, and current and future business decisions.
