Barriers to Hospital Electronic Public Health Reporting and Implications for the COVID-19 Pandemic

Holmgren, A., Apathy, N., and Adler-Milstein, J. (2020). Barriers to Hospital Electronic Public Health Reporting and Implications for the COVID-19 Pandemic. Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association. 27(8): 1306-1309.
Based on 2018 American Hospital Association annual survey data, the authors determined that the most common barrier to hospital reporting of electronic surveillance data during the COVID-19 pandemic was the inability of public health agencies to electronically receive the data. They encourage policymakers to make public health IT infrastructure investment a priority for current and future pandemic preparedness.
