TeleTracking addresses near-term and future implications of COVID-19

TeleTracking web portal provides a comprehensive, real-time, snapshot to facilitate public health response to pandemic.

Pittsburgh, May 11, 2020—Pittsburgh-based TeleTracking Technologies, Inc. will contribute to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) data tracking efforts by gathering key metrics from acute care hospitals across the United States regarding general capacity, as well as specialized care units and equipment. Under an agreement with HHS, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), TeleTracking’s web portal is assisting HHS’s efforts to ease the data reporting burden for hospitals and facilitate ongoing efforts to provide a comprehensive, national snapshot, with actionable data to inform the public health response to COVID-19. TeleTracking also extended its efforts to support HHS in reaching all U.S. hospitals in conjunction with the Allocations of CARES Act Provider Relief Fund for high impact areas.

Chris Johnson, president of TeleTracking stated, “During this national healthcare and economic crisis, TeleTracking’s entire organization has shown unwavering commitment and dedication to support our clients and federal agencies. As the leader in healthcare operations, TeleTracking is uniquely positioned to respond quickly, with innovative, highly effective solutions that are impactful and actionable. For close to three decades, TeleTracking has had a singular focus on collaborating with health systems to manage hospital operations. The introduction of the Health System Command Center—which provides a centralized approach to patient care—nearly a decade ago is the continuation of that work and should be the foundation for visibility at the local, state and federal level moving forward.”
