HospCapacityDailyIncomingData Schema

https://covid19.admin.ch#/definitions/HospCapacityDailyIncomingData

Capacity and occupancy of intensive care unit (ICU) and total hospital beds.

The resources needed to operate a hospital bed consist of a bed, space, medical devices, medication and qualified care professionals.

Data treatment hospital capacity:
For the period between March 30th, 2020 and November 9th, 2020, the capacities for ICU beds and total beds have been retroactively adjusted to match the patient numbers if lower capacity than patient numbers had been reported. Over the reported time period, continuous improvement steps have been taken to improve the data quality including automatic data controls when data is entered by hospitals and clinics. After November 9th, no retroactive adjustments have been necessary.
For the entire time period, erroneous entries have been corrected manually in consultation with the hospitals and clinics.
Depending on the prevalence of Covid-19 in Switzerland, hospitals are required to provide data between two times per week and two times per day. If multiple entries per day are reported, only the last entry is used in this dataset. If hospitals did not report data, the last entry is forward propagated to fill missing data points.
The data has been corrected as described above and aggregated on cantonal and national level with effectively reported values (nfp) and propagated values (fp7d).

Given that the reported patient numbers reported by hospitals are more reliable and accurate, the capacity data was retroactively adjusted to ensure a consistent dataset where capacity and patient numbers do not produce implausible results.

COVID19Cases - Refers to persons that have at least one positive PCR/Antigen result for COVID-19. The number of cases differs from the number of new declarations announced daily due to the reporting delay.

COVID19Death - Refers to persons that have at least one positive PCR/Antigen result for COVID-19 for which we have received a declaration of death.

COVID19Hosp - Refers to persons that have at least one positive PCR result for COVID-19 for which we have received a clinical declaration stating that the person was hospitalized (at least one night stay). Hospitalizations without date of hospital entry will not occur in this table.

COVID19Test - Refers to PCR/Antigen tests for COVID-19 with a positive or a negative result.

COVID19HospCapacity - Refers to hospital (ICU/Total) capacity and occupancy information.
