How to Log In to the U.S. Healthcare COVID-19 Portal
In this video, we will review how to log in to the U.S. Healthcare
0:00
COVID-19 Portal. You will begin by selecting the link in
0:06
the email invitation you received to access the portal. It
0:11
is important to note that only the email address at which you received
0:16
the invitation can be used to log in to the system.
0:21
Once you select the link, a page will load asking you to sign in to your account.
0:26
Again, you will need to use the email address that your email was sent to with your
0:32
invitation in order to proceed. If it is your first
0:37
time logging in, you will be asked to go through steps to set up your account
0:43
for subsequent times logging in. You will use the authentication methods
0:49
that you set up at the time of account creation. In my case,
0:54
I am using the Microsoft Authenticator app, which is a mobile app where I
0:59
approve authorization on my phone once the authorization from my
1:04
phone is provided. I will then be asked to submit a code for
1:09
dual factor authentication. Once I've entered the code from my
1:15
text message, I am now logged into the system.

How to Navigate the User Interface
In this video, we will review how to navigate the U.S. Healthcare COVID-19 Portal
0:01
user interface. When you log into the portal,
0:06
you will see all of the historical data entries listed on the page.
0:12
Each of the entries has a date and time stamp in the upper left corner.
0:17
There is a summary view of each entry available and the Show Details button
0:23
will include additional information that was submitted in previous entries.
0:29
Additionally, you will be able to see who submitted the data.
0:34
You may view this detail for any historical entries that have been entered into
0:40
the system. Selecting High Details will shrink the panel back
0:45
and show only the summary. To see additional support information
0:50
from the portal, from the dropdown menu, you have a couple of options. The first
0:56
is to sign out of the portal. The next is to get help and the third is to view our privacy
1:01
policy. Let's go ahead and take a look at the Get Help page. On
1:06
this page, you will find a number of articles and resources to help you
1:11
navigate the use of the portal. Please visit the help page frequently for more information.

How to Use the Data Entry Form
For more information, see our Enter Data help.
In this video, we will review how to add a new entry into the U.S.
0:01
Healthcare COVID-19 portal. You will begin
0:06
logged in to the application and then you will select Add New Entry in the
0:11
upper right hand corner.
0:16
If this is the first time you are adding entry, your form will have all blank values.
0:21
For all subsequent entries, the form will default to the last supplied values
0:27
on an entry form. In this case, I am seeing all of the values that were supplied
0:33
as part of a previous entry. When using the entry form, please
0:39
note that the fields at the top of the form are calculated values based
0:44
on the data entry at the bottom of the form. The fields at the top cannot
0:49
be modified or changed directly, but calculate based on the field
0:54
completion at the bottom of the form. For each of the fields, you
0:59
may hover over the eye icon to get detailed descriptions of each
1:04
of the fields. These are good places to review the definitions for each of the fields.
1:09
To update the value in the field, you may click in the field and use
1:16
your keyboard to change the values or you may also
1:21
use the up and down arrows. You will notice in this case the change that I
1:26
have made to the form violates one of the rules of the form. In this
1:31
case, my total Occupied Beds needs to be smaller
1:36
than my Total Beds. Saying this another way, I should have more Total Beds
1:41
than Occupied Beds. I will need to correct any errors that appear on the form
1:46
prior to submission. As you can see, the Submit button is now grayed out
1:52
and I will need to assure that I have more Total Beds than I do Occupied Beds.
1:57
Updating that number removes the error and now it makes the Submit button available
2:04
to me again. You will go through and update each of the fields on
2:09
the form with the correct numbers as you update the fields. These should be all
2:14
new numbers and not simply delta numbers. For example, if yesterday
2:19
I had 20 confirmed covered patients, 20 patients under investigation
2:24
and 20 using ventilation, and today I have two additional confirmed
2:29
covered patients, then my number would go from 20 to 22.
2:35
I am now adding the complete new number for my entry for that day.
2:40
After you have completed all of the fields and assured that no errors are present,
2:47
you will click the Submit button to submit your data entry. Once you click
2:52
Submit, you will get a notification at the top of your screen and then you will see the entry
2:57
with the date and time stamp for the entry that you just provided. You may
3:03
click Show Details to review the information in detail.
3:08
How to use the Data Upload Feature
For more information, see our Data Upload help.
In this video, we will review how to use the data upload form
0:01
to add a new entry to the US Healthcare COVID-19 Portal.
0:06
You will begin with selecting the Add New Entry button. From there,
0:11
in the lower left hand corner, you will see the Upload Data File option.
0:16
You can download the template for the data file by clicking here below.
0:21
From there, save the file
0:29
and then you may open the file in Excel. This is a .csv file,
0:34
therefore, you should not modify the format or file type.
0:39
To complete the form, please go ahead and enter valid values for each
0:44
of the fields. Any values that are not valid will cause the form
0:49
to throw an error when you attempt to enter it. For example, the Occupied
0:54
Beds must be lower than the number of Total Beds. If the Occupied
1:00
Beds number is higher than the number of Total Beds, the system will inform you that there
1:05
is an error in the data and the entry will not be saved. To complete the
1:10
fields, simply enter the values into the form. Once you
1:15
have entered all the values, you will need to save the file as a .csv file.
1:20
Do not convert it to an Excel file. You would
1:25
then return back to the system and select Choose File,
1:31
and then select the file that you have just completed and click Open.
1:36
The values on your form will update to the new values that you have just entered into
1:42
your Excel spreadsheet. You will then return
1:47
back to the application. Select Choose File,
1:52
and then Open. The values on your sheet. will now update to the values
2:01
that you have just entered into your .csv file. You will then click Submit.
2:06
The entry will then appear on your screen with the date and time stamp.
2:14
How to View and Add Team Members
For more information, see our Add a Team Member help.
In this video, we will review how to see and manage the team members
0:01
that have access to your hospital in the U.S., Healthcare COVID-19 Portal.
0:06
You will begin by selecting the Team tab at the top of the page. A list
0:13
of team members who have access to your hospital to enter data will be listed.
0:18
To add additional emails, you will enter their first and last name as well as their
0:25
email address. Please note that only users that have the same
0:30
email domain as you may be invited. For example, if my
0:36
email address ended in @teletracking.com, I could only invite
0:41
other members who also have an @teletracking.com email address.
0:46
Once I have completed the user name and email that I would like to invite,
0:52
I will select the Invite button. This will issue an email invitation to that team
0:58
member so that they may now join your portal.
