Demetra: Are you seeing anything different from a
financial perspective in the second year of the pandemic?
For example, are you seeing any new issues come up
as practitioners' emergency cash reserves run dry?
Or is there a new way of thinking about cash flow,
as practioners realize the pandemic is probably going on
little longer than we all originally expected?
Calvin: I think we, we would certainly see
that there has been sort of an increased emphasis on
you know, looking at different ways
of operating the business again.
And taking a really serious look at
is there a financial plan for the business,
is there actually a business plan?
And so, we have had lots of conversations with clients,
certainly over the last several months, as to
perhaps this is a really good time to reevaluate
our administration levels, staffing levels,
exactly how much we need in the way of,
if we've got space coming up for renewal, for leasing,
do we need to be where we are and do we need to have
the shear amount space that we have today?
So, a lot of these things of course in the past
weren't probably given enough thought in some cases.
So, it really--, we have seen this heightened awareness of,
this is a business at the end of the day as well,
and we need to see what the best way obviously,
to meet our patients needs,
at the same time obviously, to be able to
meet your own personal,
personal financial commitments as well.
