ASPR Hospital Preparedness Program

Bed Tracking System

States are required to complete development of an operational bed tracking system capable of reporting bed categories that are consistent with Hospital Available Beds in Emergencies and Disasters (HAvBED) requirements and definitions.

• States may use existing systems and ensure they are compatible with the requirements and definitions set by HAvBED to ensure seamless linkage to the web-based HAvBED system housed at the HHS SOC. Data is to be reported in aggregate by the State, therefore the State must have a system that collects the data from the participating hospitals.

The HHS SOC will accept data only from the States and not jurisdictions inside a State. Jurisdictions receiving funding from this program should work closely with the respective State to ensure hospitals in the jurisdiction participate in the reporting of bed availability to the State.
