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 ventilated 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 both confirmed and suspected patients who were ventilated 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.

Note: This language was changed from "Intubations" and "Patient Intubated" to "Ventilations" and "Patients Ventilated" on in order to reflect updated definitions and data collection guidance from the CDC and NHSN which went into effect on June 10, 2020.

Data Notes

Testing, June 17, 2020:  

  • On June 16th, DOH discovered that negative serology test results for COVID-19 antibodies were incorrectly included in reports of negative PCR test results for COVID-19. This resulted in an over reporting of the number of individuals who have only tested negative, by 13% since April 21st.  Data have been updated to remove the antibody testing results.
  • Two important data issues continue to effect results presented on the testing tab. The first is that about ~8,000 negative lab results have not yet been entered into our data system. The second is that about 21% of negative test results do not have an assigned county. These two issues impact some counties disproportionately. Department of Health continues to work on a sustainable solution.
  • Regarding reporting for testing in general, the data presented is by number of individuals not by number of tests.  An individual is only counted one time in all graphics and tables. They are classified by their first positive test result, or their first negative if they never had a positive test.

Death Reporting June 17, 2020: 
Deaths are currently reported for anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19. The Department is working on changes to provide more context to death reporting and report death counts that reflect deaths where COVID-19 caused or contributed to the death. Beginning June 17th, we will be removing deaths from our daily counts where COVID-19 did not cause or contribute to the death.  We will continue to update death counts as additional information on cause of death is received. On June 17th, we removed 7 deaths (3 homicides, 2 suicides, and 2 overdoses).

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.

Case Report Date, June 16, 2020:  
As of June 16, 2020, DOH switched from using the date a case was reported to the Department of Health to the date of an individual’s first positive lab result. This is a more accurate designation of case confirmation that will shift some case counts by date, most noticeably for cumulative case counts and graphics. This will affect less than 10% of the reported cases.

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.
