Hospitals Must Submit COVID-19 Patient Data via Portal for Allocation of Remdesivir Beginning July 6, 2020
However, a hospital’s bi-weekly purchase will be limited to the amount of remdesivir determined to be its fair share based on current COVID-19 hospitalizations reported by the hospital. The American Hospital Association (AHA) issued a Special Bulletin last week reminding hospitals to submit their COVID-19 patient data through the U.S. Healthcare COVID-19 TeleTracking Portal each Monday by 8 pm, every two weeks, beginning today, July 6, 2020. The AHA bulletin further states: “All hospitals should report at least the six data fields for COVID-19 admissions and ICU numbers into TeleTracking, even if they are using another reporting mechanism (e.g., National Healthcare Safety Network, or state reporting) for daily reporting.”
For additional information on how to submit data see the AHA’s Special Bulletin of May 11, 2020.
