When COVID-19 hot spots began popping up in the US, legislators enacted temporary measures to make it easier for clinicians to practice across state lines and quickly travel to provide care where it is needed most. Although the legislation is helping increase access to care during an unprecedented time, it will soon expire in many places, either on a predetermined date or when the states are no longer under a state of emergency. States of emergency can be extended, but even when they expire, it doesn’t necessarily mean the need to bring in additional clinicians from out of state to care for patients will wane in every single hospital, especially those in rural areas.
