Even before the word pandemic reentered the lexicon, pressures stemming from institutional and technological change challenged policymakers and provider organizations to rethink core features of the manner in which we deliver healthcare. This essay introduces a special issue devoted to the consequences of change on the healthcare sector’s varied stakeholders. It does so in the context of our eventual, post-coronavirus reemergence and a renewed interest in remaking the healthcare system in light of its obvious deficiencies. Towards that end, we introduce the five papers composing this special issue, each of which informs the ways that change actually transpires in healthcare organizations and systems.

为破碎的医疗保健系统付出代价：重新思考大流行后世界中的就业、劳动力和工作

甚至在大流行这个词重新进入词典之前，制度和技术变革带来的压力就要求政策制定者和提供者组织重新思考我们提供医疗保健的方式的核心特征。本文介绍了一个专刊，专门讨论变革对医疗保健部门不同利益相关者的影响。它是在我们最终在冠状病毒后重新出现以及鉴于其明显缺陷而重新对重建医疗保健系统产生兴趣的背景下这样做的。为此，我们介绍了组成本期特刊的五篇论文，每篇论文都说明了医疗保健组织和系统中实际发生的变化方式。
