EHR system tracks prisoner's data across countries to monitor COVID-19 in U.S. State and Federal Prisons

Abstract

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) that was first reported at the end of 2019 has impacted almost every aspect of our lives. While healthcare workers fight the virus in the front line, we do our part by creating an Electronic Health Records system that tracks state and federal prisoner's data through the countries in order to monitor COVID-19 cases in the U.S. The main objective of our system is to visualize the relationship between current data of deaths per day in both, state and federal prisons in U.S. State. In order to accomplish this process, we combine COVID-19 case and death rates into a single data collection which will show that state prisons have consistently reported greater rates of COVID-19 than federal prisons. The obtained results from the process satisfied our expectations and provide the efficiency of implementing Electronic Health Records Systems.
