Method

How Do I Report?

Hospitals should report daily capacity and utilization data through only one of the methods below, or to their State if they have received a written release from the State and the State has received written certification from their ASPR Regional Administrator to take over Federal reporting responsibilities.

Note: The Nevada Hospital Association (NHA) is collecting this data on behalf of all NRHP member hospitals. See certification letter below from HHS approving NHA to collect hospital data.

Reporting options for hospitals and other facilities:

  • Submit data to TeleTracking™. All instructions on the data submission are on that site. To become a user in the portal: (This portal is available for the reporting of the new fields (18,19) as of May 7, 2020)
    • Respond to the validation email sent to your administrator.
    • Visit the Teletracking website and follow the specific instructions on how to become users.
      • Each facility is allowed to have up to four users for both data entry and visual access to aggregated data in the platform.
      • Users will be validated by the platform.
  • Authorize your health IT vendor or other third-party to share information directly with HHS. Use one of the above alternate methods until your ASPR Regional Administrator or HHS Protect notifies you that this implementation is being received and is compliant.
