SUMMARY: OMB Control Number Abstract: The data collected through this ICR informs the Federal Government’s understanding of disease patterns and furthers the development of policies for prevention and control of disease spread and impact related to the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID–19). One of the most important uses of the data collected through this ICR is to determine critical allocations of limited supplies (e.g., protective equipment and medication). For instance, this collection has been used to distribute Remdesivir, a vital therapeutic that HHS distributes to the American healthcare system, via distinct data calls on regular intervals. As of July 10, HHS reduced the number requests for data from hospitals to support allocations of Remdesivir. HHS has stopped sending out one-time requests for data to aid in the distribution of Remdesivir or any other treatments or supplies. This consolidated daily reporting is the only mechanism used for the distribution calculations, and daily reports are needed to ensure accurate calculations. Type of Respondent: We acknowledge the burden placed on many hospitals, including resource constraints, and have allowed for some flexibilities, such as back-submissions or submitting every business days, with the understanding that respondents may not have sufficient staff working over the weekend.

OMB No. 0990-New--HHS Teletracking COVID-19 Portal

OMB Control Number

    Abstract: The data collected through this ICR informs the Federal 
Government's understanding of disease patterns and furthers the 
development of policies for prevention and control of disease spread 
and impact related to the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). One of the 
most important uses of the data collected through this ICR is to 
determine critical allocations of limited supplies (e.g., protective 
equipment and medication). For instance, this collection has been used 
to distribute Remdesivir, a vital therapeutic that HHS distributes to 
the American healthcare system, via distinct data calls on regular 
intervals. As of July 10, HHS reduced the number requests for data from 
hospitals to support allocations of Remdesivir. HHS has stopped sending 
out one-time requests for data to aid in the distribution of Remdesivir 
or any other treatments or supplies. This consolidated daily reporting 
is the only mechanism used for the distribution calculations, and daily 
reports are needed to ensure accurate calculations.
    Type of Respondent: We acknowledge the burden placed on many 
hospitals, including resource constraints, and have allowed for some 
flexibilities, such as back-submissions or submitting every business 
days, with the understanding that respondents may not have sufficient 
staff working over the weekend. It is our belief that collection of 
this information daily is the most effective way to detect outbreaks 
and needs for Federal assistance over time, by hospital and 
geographical area, and to alert the appropriate officials for action. 
It's requested that 5,500 hospitals, submit data daily on the number of 
patients tested for COVID-19, as well as information on bed capacity 
and requirements for other supplies.
