Data notes and sources
Data notes and sources
We collect admission data for COVID-19 patients from San Francisco’s acute care hospital systems. Data are based on the date of patient admission in the patient electronic health record.
We receive data from these hospitals:
- Chinese Community Hospital
- Kaiser Hospital
- Sutter (California Pacific Medical Center) hospitals (Davies, Mission Bernal, and Van Ness campuses)
- University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) hospitals (Mission Bay, Mount Zion, Parnassus, Saint Francis, St. Mary’s)
- Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital
Hospital admissions include only San Francisco residents. Admission rate per 100,000 is calculated by multiplying the count of admissions each week by 100,000 and dividing by the population estimate. These data do not show how long patients remain hospitalized or if they needed intensive care.
San Francisco population estimates are from the 2022 5-year American Community Survey.
