Walnut Creek, CA – Paradigm recently announced a new complimentary webinar, noting that as the claims industry looks ahead to evolve past the pandemic and restore a sense of “normalcy,” many questions remain about the novel COVID-19 virus and the long-term implications of the disease.

While most individuals who have suffered from COVID-19 recover within weeks, new research estimates 25% of COVID-19 patients will experience long-term, persistent symptoms. This condition phenomenon known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (“PASC”), commonly referred to as “long-haul COVID,” is characterized as a myriad of unpredictable, difficult-to-diagnose symptoms.

In this webinar, Paradigm and its panel of clinical experts will discuss what they have learned about this unprecedented disease and explore the unique categories of post-COVID conditions. Panelists will review the latest clinical guidance on the diagnosis of these persistent conditions─with a focus on respiratory distress, organ dysfunction, and immune system deficits─and share updates on the emerging treatments and clinical management strategies for these challenging cases.

Speakers will include:

  • Michael Choo, MD, FACEP, FAAEM – Chief Medical Officer, Paradigm
  •  Stan Smith, LNFA, MBA – Vice President, Post-Acute Care, Paradigm
  • Kathy Galia, RN, BSN – SVP and General Manager, Clinical Solutions, Paradigm
  • Lawrence Lottenberg, MD, FACS – Paradigm Medical Director
  • Paul Dongilli Jr., PhD, FACHE – Chief Executive Officer, Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals

The webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, July 27th at 11am PT.
