A new COVID-19<\/abbr> dashboard<\/a>, for anyone interested in tracking local data associated with the coronavirus pandemic, was unveiled by the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/a>, Gov.<\/abbr> David Ige and the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> State Department of Health (DOH<\/abbr>).<\/p>\n

The goal of the dashboard is to inform the community and policy makers on key action areas essential to stopping the pandemic: prevention, detection, containment, and treatment and healthcare.<\/p>\n

“This dashboard is an all-hands-on-deck effort that aims to sync up multiple data sources into a single location. Our aspiration is to have data that are accurate, timely and granular to help make individual and public decisions through a collaborative partnership with data providers,” said Victoria Fan<\/strong>, associate professor in UH<\/abbr> Mānoa\u2019s Myron B. Thompson School of Social Work<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new metrics include: ICU<\/abbr> bed and ventilator use by COVID-19<\/abbr> patients, total number and percent of capacity; occupancy and capacity of isolation and quarantine facilities for those who cannot isolate or quarantine at home; contact tracing capacity and currently active\/trained tracers, by county; testing capacity and turn-around time; personal protective equipment supplies and distribution; modes of transmission, with the number of cases and clusters for each; and mask-wearing behavior in Honolulu, with all Hawaiian islands in process.<\/p>\n

Data for the dashboard is being pulled from multiple sources and will be updated daily or weekly, as the information becomes available. The dashboard will continue to be a collaborative process involving DOH<\/abbr> and key partners, sharing timely and accurate information with the public.<\/p>\n

“This is a tremendous step forward in providing vital information in an easy-to-read and understood format. It immediately improves our ability to provide key metrics about how Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> is performing in our fight against COVID-19<\/abbr> and offers data to aid in decision-making,” Gov.<\/abbr> Ige stated.<\/p>\n

UH<\/abbr> undergraduate and graduate students working as research assistants in the Pacific Health Analytics Collaborative (PHAC<\/abbr>) with Fan have been designing and developing the dashboard for two weeks before the prototype was released. PHAC<\/abbr> works to strengthen the pipeline of analytics capabilities of UH<\/abbr> graduates in partnership with the DOH<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n
