Abstract
A comparison of computer-extracted and facility-reported counts of hospitalized COVID-19 patients for public health reporting at 36 hospitals found 42% of days with matching counts between the data sources. Mis-categorization of suspect cases was a primary driver of discordance. Clear reporting definitions and data validation facilitate emerging disease surveillance.Keywords
