Title: An Information System for COVID-19 Hospitalization Tracking and Analysis

Citation Type: Journal Article

Publication Year:

Abstract: In March 2020, public health officials in every US states were scrambling for data to help predict and prepare for "the surge" of hospitalizations due to COVID-19. While there were credible websites reporting on the daily number of cases and deaths in each state (e.g., Johns Hopkins), these data were insufficient for predicting the real-time stress on the hospital systems: cases were under-reported due to lack of testing capability and deaths are a lagging indicator. This information gap drove the team at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management to launch the COVID-19 Hospitalization Tracking Project (https://carlsonschool.umn.edu/mili-misrc-covid19-tracking-project)-a daily state-by-state view on the number of hospitalizations.
