A survey of 50,258 Americans found more than 1 in 4 adults with long COVID-19 reported difficulty in daily tasks between Sept. 14 and Sept. 26, a figure that jumped to nearly 40 percent for Black, Latino and disabled patients. This phase of data collection, referred to as Phase 3.6, will continue with a “two-weeks on, two-weeks off collection and dissemination approach.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
