Sponsor's own description

The primary objective of the present research is to determine the effectiveness of Family Health Center of San Diego's Long COVID and Fatiguing Illness Recovery Program (LC\&FIRP) on clinician- and patient-level outcomes. LC\&FIRP is comprised of a teleECHO program focused on multi-specialty case-consultation and peer-to-peer sharing of emerging best practices to support management of complex cases associated with Long COVID, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), and other post-infectious fatiguing illnesses (PIFI). Our secondary objective is to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and sustainability of LC\&FIRP. Our findings should provide a fuller understanding of the potential impact of innovative technology enabled multi-disciplinary team-based care models in low-resource, community-based primary care settings.
