In mid-December, the National Healthcare Safety Network will assume responsibility from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for the collection of COVID-19 hospital data at the federal level.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently updated the transition webpage with additional details and instructions. Please note that California hospitals reporting to California’s COVID Tracker will continue to do so during this transition. California hospitals that opted in to have the California Department of Public Health upload their data to TeleTracking should see no change to their COVID-19 data reporting procedure.
The CDC is holding a series of trainings for this transition:
- Oct. 18 from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. (PT): API High-level Overview — This is intended for both hospitals and jurisdictions using API uploads, and high-level steps.
- Oct. 19 from 9 to 9:30 a.m. (PT): API High-level Overview (Replay) — This is intended for both hospitals and jurisdictions using API uploads, and high-level steps.
- Oct. 21 from 10 to 11 a.m. (PT): Transition Updates and Q&A — This is mostly intended to help answer questions hospitals may have. It will also cover high-level content in the different kinds of reporting scenarios and where to find the relevant information.
