    Aim 1. Natural History of Disease Study: COVID-19. The objective for Aim 1 is to use HCA Healthcare data to describe clinical characteristics of COVID-19 and identify patient level factors related to disease progression and prognosis. We will examine cohorts of COVID-19 based on diagnosis codes and/or laboratory results with respect to their care and outcomes during hospitalization.

    Aim 2. Near Real-Time Monitoring of Critical Drugs for the Care of Patients with COVID-19, HCA Implementation. The objective for Aim 2 is to establish the capacity to measure COVID-19 cases and COVID-19-related drug utilization data from HCA Healthcare, and to repeatedly generate and update these data and reports over time as a form of sequential monitoring.
