Looker and Google Cloud Platform have delivered over 400 action dashboards to the CCA clinicians so far. These dashboards combine COVID-19 information and highlight the most urgent matters, including environmental and personal risk factors.
“What CCA is doing is a perfect illustration of why reliable data is so important with such a fast-moving virus,†said Daniel Mintz, Chief Data Evangelist at Looker. “To help consolidate all the COVID-19 data available now and in the days to come, we created a Looker Data Block. The Block makes it easy for people to integrate these public data sets into existing workflows so they can better understand what’s happening and take data-driven actions to react, much as CCA did,†he added.
The monitoring dashboards focus on virus hotspots and also the at-risk members. It combines parameters like location, age, pre-existing conditions, and environment. Going further, the dashboards would also be able to deliver information regarding canceled elected surgeries and the changing availability of social support services that are having on its members.
