Pediatric Weekly dashboard update, Sept. 17

Thursday, OHA published its newest dashboard report of pediatric COVID-19 case data in Oregon. This dashboard replaces the previous report and is published weekly on Thursdays with the most recent full week’s data. Dashboard will change the reporting of neonatal and pediatric intensive care unit beds. The Hospital Capacity tab of the Daily Data Update dashboard starting today will report neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) bed capacity separately. Prior to the change, NICU and PICU bed counts were combined on the dashboard summary. Reporting these bed categories individually better reflects hospital capacity for pediatric patients with COVID-19 who need intensive care.
