To centralize hospital information in the fight against COVID-19, the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) partnered with Rush University Medical Center (RUMC) to launch a comprehensive COVID data resource and exchange hub.
Described in an August 2020 paper, the project’s goals were to use standardized, interoperable data to generate insights on regional bed capacity, better capture of risk factors and clinical variables among COVID patients and reduce the reporting burden.
Launched in early December, the tool pulls CDPH-mandated data into a common platform, enabling better data reporting and case tracking while also highlighting trends and risk mitigation strategies.
