Respondents cited “clinician or staff illness,” “lack of PPE [personal protective equipment]/supplies,” and “lack of revenue” as reasons for possible temporary closure.
The survey is part of a partnership between the Primary Care Collaborative, a nonprofit organization, and the Larry A. Green Center. The collaborative and center are fielding a weekly survey of primary care practices. The most recent survey, conducted March 27-30, drew responses from 713 primary care physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants in 50 states and American Samoa.
