All clinics in Lower Austria are obliged to submit their COVID-19 case numbers, information on resource utilisation and escalation issues to the State Health Agency at predetermined times. All messages and changes must be logged for traceability. The time raster should be flexible depending on the escalation level.<\/p>\n
The reports are to be checked for plausibility and aggregated in a status report, which serves as the basis for the crisis staff meeting of the Lower Austrian State Health Agency. The data are important for model calculations of the COVID-19 crisis, as well as the basis for the daily reporting to the federal government. In addition, the reports based on them are central guidance variables for the management of the crisis unit.<\/p>\n
