Data Update May 22, 2020

We wanted to highlight two important data issues on the testing tab. The first is that about 11,000 negative lab results have not yet been entered into our data system. The second is that about 27% of negative test results do not have an assigned county. These two issues are impacting some counties disproportionately, including Skagit and Whatcom. For this reason, Skagit County’s data is temporarily unavailable on the testing tab. The impact is an artificial elevation of the percent positive in those counties. DOH is working to resolve these two issues.

Every day, acute care hospitals in Washington are reporting the number of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 in their hospital to the Department of Health.

As of May 20, the chart was updated to reflect that hospitals are now reporting the total number of COVID-19 patients intubated rather than the total number of COVID-19 patients in the ICU. This change aligns the data hospitals submit to DOH with the data they’re required to report to federal agencies.

The numbers in the columns represent the total number of patients hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and those patients who were intubated at those hospitals on that reporting day. The number of hospitals reporting varies on a day to day basis, so counts are not directly comparable from day to day.

Hospitals now report data through WA HEALTH, a new application developed in partnership with the Washington State Hospital Association. Previous hospitalization and ICU data were provided through partnerships with the Northwest Healthcare Response Network, for western Washington, the Regional Emergency and Disaster (REDi) Healthcare Coalition, for eastern Washington, and the Region IV Healthcare Preparedness Alliance, for southwest Washington, and the Washington State Hospital Association.

Data Notes

Note on the county and unassigned data: This data changes rapidly as labs conduct tests and discover new cases. Labs assign those cases to a county. Counties or the Department of Health then determine the appropriate county of jurisdiction. Those don’t always match initially. We’re working to reduce the “unassigned” number to 0. Contact the local health department for county specific information.

Note on the deaths: Some deaths may be reported by health care providers, medical examiners/coroners, local health departments, or others before they are included in the statewide count. It takes longer for the state to announce deaths because they are often reported first to the local health department and then to us.

Note on the number of infections: Public health experts agree that the true number of people who have been infected with COVID-19 in Washington greatly exceeds the number of COVID-19 infections that have been laboratory-confirmed. It is very difficult to know exactly how many people in Washington have been infected to date since most people with COVID-19 experience mild illness and the ability to get tested is still not widely available.
