On Jan. 3, the nation recorded 1,082,549 new COVID-19 cases, significantly surpassing the previous record set days before. The COVID-19 total also marks the highest daily case increase for any country since the pandemic began. 

The Jan. 3 case count included a backlog of cases that may be attributed to reporting delays from the holiday weekend, The Hill reported.

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.
