Add hospitalizations signal from our healthcare partners #48

Closed krivard closed 4 years ago

krivard commented 4 years ago

We should add hospitalization estimates from our healthcare datasource, analogous to our DV signals. Based on what I’ve been talking about Roni and others, I think it’d be dangerous to serve projected counts in our API and on the map (because of the possible huge discrepancies between this and the surveillance data on hospitalizations). But we could serve ratios? Fraction of hospitalizations due to covid-like illness. (Just like fraction of DV’s due to COVID-like illness.) We need to name it carefully, to ensure that it’s not viewed as an “Official Report” like hospitalizations coming from public health surveillance (state departments of health).

Most of the code written in this branch: https://github.com/cmu-delphi/covidcast-indicators/tree/emr-hosp-package. Will wait for confirmation that ratio information is OK to release.

@capnrefsmmat to see whether this ticket or the DV PR is a better first task for @jsharpna

Pending a map review of a wip_ signal.
