Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has attained the distinction of a global pandemic, aff ecting more than 185 countries. The impact of COVID-19 in the practice of cardiology extends beyond the clinical Cardiovascular (CV) manifestations of the disease. Many treatment modalities used in the treatment of COVID-19 have direct or indirect eff ects on the CV system. Management of CV disease in patients with proven or suspected COVID-19 infection warrants modifi cation of existing practices and guidelines so as to suit the changed health care environment. The safety of health care personnel becomes an important consideration in the setting of this highly contagious pandemic. Furthermore, long-term cardiovascular consequences of COVID-19 need to be determined for appropriate follow-up of patients recovering from the infection. We review the data available till date on the various aspects of the impact of COVID-19 on the heart and the practice of cardiology.

This study assesses the perceptions of employees (in a health care environment that has just undergone a process of restructuring) of the process before restructuring, the impact of the restructuring on service delivery and performance as well as of outcomes, strategies and interventions implemented. A sample of 143 clinical and non-clinical employees from three of the largest regional hospitals within the Ministry of Health in Lesotho was drawn using cluster sampling. Data was collected using a questionnaire whose psychometric properties were statistically determined. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate that employees were not convinced that the process of transformation undertaken in the health care organization was effective and, hence recommendations are made in this regard.

This paper explores the impact of a changing health care environment on the organization, management, and delivery of occupational therapy services in Canada. Political, economic, and other societal forces are having a profound effect on the demand for and the practice of occupational therapy. The influence of such forces on occupational therapy is discussed within the context of the profession's internal organization, external image, educational continuum, and practice directions. The paper reviews the profession's past response to such forces and develops approaches that occupational therapists individually and collectively can pursue to be more strategically positioned within the changing health care scene.
