摘要:

当COVID-19疾病大流行渗透全球时,立即需要准确的信息。与任何疾病暴发一样,疾病暴发有一个明确的轨迹,随后,该疾病暴发的支持信息需要满足与该疾病暴发阶段相关的需求。起初,需要向公众告知与COVID-19疾病“谁”相关的初始情况相关的信息。然而,随着时间的推移,“在哪里”,“何时”和“如何”的相关问题开始出现与公共医疗系统本身有关。有关医疗设施的问题,包括COVID-19医院的病床容量、指定COVID-19设施的位置,以及与该等设施有关的一般资料,公众并不容易获得。此外,现有信息被认为过时,分散在几个平台上,与这些设施有关的数据仍然存在差距。为了纠正这个问题,一群在covid 19 za项目工作的志愿者介入帮助。领导该项目的每个成员都选择关注与医院信息相关的挑战相关的四个问题之一,包括:数据质量,数据完整性,数据源验证和数据可视化能力。随着项目的发展,数据、可视化和项目核心功能的复杂性也在不断提高。该项目的未来前景涉及到一个渐进的Web应用程序,将通过全面的映射和数据质量为公众以及医疗保健工作者提供这些信息。

英文摘要:

When the COVID-19 disease pandemic infiltrated the world, there was an immediate need for accurate information. As with any outbreak, the outbreak follows a clear trajectory, and subsequently, the supporting information for that outbreak needs to address the needs associated with that stage of the outbreak. At first, there was a need to inform the public of the information related to the initial situation related to the "who" of the COVID-19 disease. However, as time continued, the "where", "when" and "how to" related questions started to emerge in relation to the public healthcare system themselves. Questions surrounding the health facilities including COVID-19 hospital bed capacity, locations of designated COVID-19 facilities, and general information related to these facilities were not easily accessible to the general public. Furthermore, the available information was found to be outdated, fragmented across several platforms, and still had gaps in the data related to these facilities. To rectify this problem, a group of volunteers working on the covid19za project stepped in to assist. Each member leading a part of the project chose to focus on one of four problems related to the challenges associated with the Hospital information including: data quality, data completeness, data source validation and data visualisation capacity. As the project developed, so did the sophistication of the data, visualisation and core function of the project. The future prospects of this project relate to a Progressive Web Application that will avail this information for the public as well as healthcare workers through comprehensive mapping and data quality.
