More than 400 clinicians and social service providers attended the June 8 symposium. The agenda covered best practices for clinical assessment, referral and treatment of the condition, as well as social support services available to those with long COVID-19.

“Our symposium marks a critical step forward in addressing long COVID, shining a bright light on a complicated condition affecting many New Yorkers well after their initial COVID-19 infection,” said Ted Long, MD, executive director of the NYC Test & Trace Corps — which provides COVID-19 testing and treatment resources to city residents — and senior vice president for ambulatory care and population health at NYC Health + Hospitals. “The New York City medical community’s efforts to come together, listen to patients and share best clinical practices to diagnose, treat and provide health and social services for New Yorkers with long COVID will be instrumental for our patients’ and our city’s recovery.”

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.
