The renewal means the emergency declaration will remain in effect for at least another 90 days. 

The declaration grants healthcare providers resources and flexibility to care for COVID-19 patients, among other benefits. 

HHS first declared the pandemic a public health emergency Jan. 31, 2020. The agency has since renewed it every 90 days. 

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.
