Respondents ranked the importance of healthcare issues.
MHE conducted our annual State of the Industry reader survey in October and November. Respondents were asked to rank the importance of healthcare issues and, no surprise, 71% of the rankings of COVID-19 by the respondents rated it as the number one healthcare issue.
