Objectives• Recognize the gaps in current public health reporting in the
COVID-19 era• Describe how informatics standards like CCDA and ELR reporting
can be leveraged to improve public health COVID-19 surveillance• Illustrate how the FHIR standard can support future, modern,
infrastructure for public health surveillance of vaccine administration and molecular epidemiology of SARS-COV2

Responding to COVID PUI Data Gaps

CDPH Data Limitations Experience:
Key Missing data variables:Race / ethnicity(29%)Hospitalization data (40%)Underlying conditionsLength of hospital stayReporting:‐‐78% of data reported thru ELR submission
‐‐very limited data fields‐‐Only 22% with provider report‐‐not all testing sites connected to ELR‐‐critical data elements to conduct investigations notbeing captured in timely manner
INITIAL CRITICAL NEEDS:‐Timely reporting of essential basic data elements to lead case investigations‐Efficient mechanism to collect more complete epi and clinical information, including other data sources‐coordinated mechanism for hospital utilization monitoring
“No data on serious underlying health conditions were available. Data…are preliminary and are missing for some key characteristics of interest, including hospitalization status(1,514), ICU admission (2,253), death (2,001), and age (386).” –as of March 16, a total of 4,226 COVID-19 cases in the United States had been reported to CDC

Standardized COVID-19 data
• Can we auto-generate a Table 1 and Table 2?
• What are the characteristics of COVID-19?
•Who is getting sick
• Who has highest mortality• Are there race/ethnicity
differences in outcomes?• Does hydroxychloroquine work?• Do Ace Inhibitors help? Do they
hurt?

Currently the solution is focused within Epic based members
Organizations can have variable levels of implementation and various levels of familiarity with common data models (OMOP)
Other EHRs exist and other common data models are being used in other initiatives competing for under resourced projects
How do you define what constitutes a Covid-19 patient?
What are appropriate time points to share data?
How to count the number of hours on ventilation?
How to standardize definitions of race/ethnicity?
Data governance and legal review
Each site has specific processes for data governance policies, committee reviews for data sharing and processes for legal review and contract negotiations.

Adult ICU Bed Capacity By Hospital –12/1/20
• Many Chicago hospitals reported Adult ICU Bed Capacity the same between EMResource(bars) and HHS Protect (line).
• Three of the largest Chicago hospitals reported more Adult ICU Capacity to HHS Protect than EMResource.
• A few hospitals reported less Adult ICU Bed Capacity to HHS Protect than EMResource

Fast moving concerns related to COVID-19- Shifting needs for bed capacity data
- Where should reporting occur? CDC vs HHS- Adoption by sites and the source of truth- How to achieve real time, automated bed capacity data
- Role of longitudinal data in ongoing surveillance for late sequelae- From a public health perspective, monitoring and addressing long hauler syndrome- Architecture of a data ecosystem for data sharing, scalability of public health orders
- Vaccine scheduling and administration- Regional scheduling, one-stop shop for scheduling- Vaccine administration equity- Vaccine inventories- Documentation of vaccination
- Molecular epidemiology of SARS-CoV2- Regional strain typing, surveillance, and reporting
- Gathering real time real world evidence- COVID-19 and beyond- Lollapalooza, Chicago Marathon

The agility of cloud based services has compelling value for novel use cases in public health
Themes of data integration, patient matching, and ease of reporting have been recurring over the COVID-19 era
Ideal scenario is to combine standards, reporting needs, with desire to generate real world evidence
Public health is a trusted partner in the data ecosystem and could serve a vital role in data aggregation
