The Cardiac Critical Care Unit (CCU) is currently responsible for many critical condition COVID19 patients but is partly hampered by data availability. There exists a gap of information that is currently being bridged by provisional methods but is not ideal as long term solutions. Our volunteers are tasked to organize data exported from different clinical databases into a single accessible source and provide up-to-date and easy-to-read summaries. The ultimate goal is to help make essential data available to the CCU doctors in order to help them make important decisions. Our team is assembled and will be working on this soon.

Project Summary
Shortly after the launch of CRAC, data management quickly became one of our core competencies as there was a great demand from external collaborators and we had very talented and data-savvy volunteers. These projects had straightforward, though not necessarily simple, objectives - help our external collaborators manage existing or emerging databases, whether it’s data for the IRB, transplant patients, or the CCU. Toward those goals, our volunteers worked very hard at cleaning data, designing databases, and managing surveys. While it is hard for us to share any specific information about any of the databases as they are not meant to be publicly available, we are very happy to say that we have indeed accomplished all of the goals. We are almost sad that everything went so smooth it nearly looked boring from the outside!
