HCA, Google Cloud Launch COVID-19 Data Sharing Platform

HCA Healthcare and Google Cloud have established a new open data platform designed to promote data sharing during the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 presents a unique and significant challenge to healthcare providers, and collaboration and coordination is more important than ever to help ensure the best possible response,” said Dr. Edmund Jackson, HCA Healthcare’s chief data officer. “While COVID-19 has driven us apart physically, we will respond to it by coming together digitally. We are proud to work alongside Google Cloud to create a platform to help address this urgent public health challenge.” The COVID-19 National Response Portal, built and operated by SADA, is designed to help healthcare providers across the country safely share and display anonymous, aggregated metrics from hospital systems into a single platform. Running on Google Cloud, the platform shows a complete and real-time view of the COVID-19 pandemic.
