Tampa General Hospital and AdventHealth are among a group of 51 Florida hospitals that have developed a joint interactive dashboard to share COVID-19 clinical data.
Four things to know:
1. The COVID-19 Florida West Coast Regional Data Exchange shows real-time data from 51 hospitals, such as how many patients are being treated for COVID-19, and resources available at each hospital including the number of available negative-pressure rooms, intensive care unit rooms and ventilator counts.
2. Tampa General Hospital and Altamonte Springs-based AdventHealth also partnered with Clearwater-based BayCare Health System; Nashville, Tenn.-based HCA Healthcare; Lakeland Regional Health; Fort Myers-based Lee Health; and Bradenton-based Manatee Memorial Hospital for the project.
3. The data exchange also tracks the number of patients who may have COVID-19 but are awaiting test results.
4. The hospitals tapped data consulting group SME Solutions Group to help create the data exchange.
