Abstract

Government and other public health institutions are calling for initiatives that can support the increased availability of data to support evidence-based policymaking. However, much of the available data is fragmented, incomplete, and scattered across multiple institutions such as clinics, hospitals, and testing sites. This project will innovate to harmonize data to understand and predict the impact of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. It will also focus on new innovations to make best use of the data to advance policy and care decisions.
