Planned operation outcome Identify and provide clinical datasets for use in developing forecasting models and informing disease surveillance. Ideal operation outcomes [disclaimer: we don't know whether any/all of these are likely or their feasibility; they're meant to be illustrative of the types of analyses possible with broader clinical-data availability] • Aggregate accurate information at federal, state, and county level. • Develop forecast models predicting incidences and correlating them to key data points, like number of available hospital beds and resource needs. • Maximize limited testing resources by ensuring that the right groups of individuals are tested. For instance, this could be determined based on the location data of individuals who have tested positive. • Along with location-based information, determine the cause of the spread of COVID-19 and mitigate continued spread. For instance, consider creating a rating system indicating the danger of the spread of COVID-19 in certain communities. • Track the different strains and expressions of the illness. There are multiple strains of varying severity in Europe. • Develop contact tracing solutions to help reduce spread at the top of the funnel. This approach has been used successfully in other countries. epic.org EPIC-20-03-24-OSTP-FOIA-20200715-Production-pt1 000028 • Follow interoperabil ity standards like FHIR to allow for easier collaboration . • Understand comorbidity, including the symptoms displayed and how they manifest so healthcare can improve outcomes . • Determine whether task force resources are best spent assisting CDC and other agencies with their own questions , or in posing our own. • Reduce the likelihood of additional mutagenesis . This could include a review of the potential presence of the virus in the United States at an earlier stage. • Provide treatments tailored to specific strains of COVI D-19. Two key considerations: o (1) Maintain a supply chain that accurately allocates emerging medicines; o (2) Set clear guidelines and establish a decision tree reflecting the risk/reward of particular kinds of treatments in different geographies . • Understand interagency / intergovernmental collaboration and information sharing. Other known working groups I efforts • NAVIGO has a public-facing assessment that could be used for screening , education , data creation/collection , and other ideas to help improve the interaction at testing centers. Prototype here: • CT A's public link to telehealth companies questionna ire • There is a substantial amount of interagency I intergovernmental work that is already happening ; one of the challenges will be to ensure appropriate coordination among government entities and the task force . Concerns • Working effectively while complying with regulation, including HIPAA and PHI, and maintaining ethical data-sharing policies . Key considerations here will be understanding who is using the data (e.g., is it open source) and what level of precision will be provided. • One meta-consideration is the government's tolerance for data aggregation / centralizatio n. I.e., should we (1) gather large amou nts of data and allow for good centralized governance to use that data to make decisions or (2) should we work to narrow the scope of questions now so we don't expend time sorting through information after we've gathered it? 2 epic.org EPIC-20-03-24-OSTP-FOIA-20200715-Production-pt1 000029 COVID-19 Tech Taskforce Workstream Name: Hosting and Privacy Members: AWS, Camber, ESRI, Facebook, Google, Harvard School of Public Health, Microsoft, Mozilla, R4, SAP, Salesforce Goals and opportunities To assist researchers at the CDC, academic institutions, and other public-health officials, capture non-clinical location data to assess contact rates, social distancing, effectiveness of policy interventions, and disease surveillance. Planned operation outcome Create a secure, privacy respecting environment for researchers to aggregate and analyze data to forecast and model COVID-19 related location and clinical data. Existing data At the moment, there are no publicly available, or aggregated datasets generally available to researchers. Although some companies have aggregated data, the aggregated data are not made publicly available and, at the moment, are limited only to a set of academic researchers and epidemiologists. As of Tuesday, March 17, 2020, none of the members of the task force have agreed to share data through the task force without further definition of requirements. Concerns The primary concerns related to privacy relate to understanding the extent of consent at the point of data collection, considerations around deidentification and aggregation, guarding against re-identification, maintaining clear guidelines around use of data (including the roles of individuals accessing data, data storage/retention, and data reuse), and around transparency of work. Additionally, security and compliance (both technical and regulatory) present challenges for any data sharing effort. Anticipated Deliverables • A "Principles" document. We need a set of agreed-upon principles to help guide technical and implementation details. This will guide all subsequent deliverables for the task force. • Assistance to entities around deidentification/anonymization efforts (provided sufficient regulatory I legal approval/authority) epic.org EPIC-20-03-24-OSTP-FOIA-20200715-Production-pt1 000030 COVID-19 Tech Taskforce Workstream Name: Location Data Members: Camber, ESRI, Facebook, Google, Harvard School of Public Health, Nielsen, Unacast, Uber, Veraset Goals and opportunities To assist researchers at the CDC, academic institutions, and other public-health officials, capture non-clinical location data to assess contact rates, social distancing, effectiveness of policy interventions, and disease surveillance. Planned operation outcome Identify and provide non-clinical geolocation datasets for use in developing forecasting models and informing disease surveillance and policy actions to prevent further spread of the disease. We should leverage existing data to make mathematically informed decisions regarding where to place resources. Possible questions to be answered with our models • Are social distancing policies being obeyed? Are they effective? • Are people staying at home? How do we support them? • What kind of specific messaging works and what doesn't to encourage desired outcomes? • What is causing spread in one area, and how does it allow us to mitigate the risk of spread in other areas? • What patterns are we seeing in transportation? Are people moving away from public transportation in favor of private means? • How can we use data collected to ensure we maintain a supply chain that allows the necessary resources to be allocated to those communities that need them most (e.g., respirators, test kits, etc.)? • How can we coordinate inbound requests to private industry for information to different companies from different agencies and branches of government? Possible products What are the deliverables that government needs from us? We proposed the following: • Development of a data pipeline • Development of coordinated dashboards o Ideally dashboards will be considered an authoritative source o Information could be gathered from WHO, CDC, and foreign governments epic.org EPIC-20-03-24-OSTP-FOIA-20200715-Production-pt1 000031 o Information gathered could include: number of individuals tested, confirmed infected, still under investigation, school closures, unemployment, other business metrics, etc. Existing data For this section, we have put together the high-level information we received on the call, please add additional information or correct any errors . What data can we provide? What would be useful for us to gather? • Mobile location data (Camber/Veraset/Unacast) • Trip data (Uber) • Dashboards (ESRI) o Data on hospital beds, number of beds (existing), staffed beds (supported), ICU beds and bed utilization rates. o https://coronavirus-resources .esri.com/ • Media behavior changes (Nielsen) • Potential sociodemographic information and point of interest information Other known working groups / efforts Concerns For this section, we have put together the high-level information we received on the call, please add additional information or correct any errors . • Engaging federal, state, and county government so we don't lose time in coordinating • Complying with regulation and establishing the appropriate data aggregation threshold o Clear messaging that data is aggregated and not personalized o Clear about our data aggregation threshold. This will be different based on size and density of community, and whether it's an open or closed dataset • Privacy (see Hosting/Privacy workstream) • Coordination • Redundancy • Sparsity of data/ data quality • Pipeline access/aggregation/hosting • Update frequency • Ethics/punitive use of data • Ensuring the models we build are effective in future, and not models of past. We need to start predicting, or we won't be helpful in allowing gov to execute on plans and policies for current use case of prevention Requests to the government 2 epic.org EPIC-20-03-24-OSTP-FOIA-20200715-Production-pt1 000032 • Who do we coordinate with in government and relevant agencies (FEMA, Census, etc.)? • What are the top questions that we can answer for government? This information will be key in helping us inform our approach and get started more quickly • Data use agreements o Public access files, public utility files • How should we coordinate with Federal, State, and local government most effectively? 3 epic.org EPIC-20-03-24-OSTP-FOIA-20200715-Production-pt1 000033 RE: [EXTERNAL] More finalized risk assessment / survey From "Droegemeier, Kelvin K.

We are still developing it, but it is working and with some additional attention and investment we could be ready to scale big time this week. There is a lot we could do with this: - help screen people so Walgreens can bring higher priority people to the front - help people self mitigate / provide recommendations on how to lower risk - create a dataset that can be used to evaluate overall population - can add symptom tracker to this (we are doing that now).

The dashboard is live! Attached is the two-pager we drafted to accompany the email and please use the cover note below to accompany your outreach. I would also suggest you cite the Link to the external SAS Blog's guide to "how to use the dashboard" that provides some additional context to the 'board. We are available to meet in person or remotely to dig into the dashboard , discuss where we are deployed (and how that fed agency is or could be using SAS in the fight vs COVID-19) , as well as other novel ideas for using SAS to address the myriad of challenges to the federal government associated with the outbreak. In response to the outbreak of coronavirus worldwide and in the United States, SAS has created an interactive dashboard using SAS Visual Analytics that depicts case status, impacted locations , geographic spread and trend analysis of the novel coronavirus resulting in COVID-19. The dashboard visually conveys prior and emerging case clusters and geo-maps hotspots. This visualization informs the community as well as government and public health professionals on key public health metrics. It also is useful in informing stakeholders as to whether the threat is a localized epidemic , is under control , or is spreading and transmitting rapidly between geographic areas. This dashboard leverages data pulled from Johns Hopkins University , which synthesizes data from World Health Organization (WHO) , Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), European Centre for Disease Prevention & Control (ECDC) , NHC , and DXY and is updated daily. SAS recognizes governments are dealing with a crisis. In light of the extraordinary circumstances and the public and private outpouring of resources being mustered to fight the outbreak , SAS is providing this dashboard as a public service. The goal is to promote transparency and educate the public on the latest developments with the coronavirus. Specifically , the dashboard provides the capability to: • View the number of new coronavirus cases within the last 10 days; • Review trends of virus' infection rates, recovery rates, and fatality rates; • Discover virus migration ; • Compare Wuhan , the epicenter in China , with the rest of the world ; • Analyze confinned cases to understand recovery rates over time Please note: 3 epic.org EPIC-20-03-24-OSTP-FOIA-20200715-Production-pt1 000039 • Make sure to use Safari or Google Chrome or other browsers , NOT Internet Explorer • After clicking on the dashboard link, you will first see the report; at the top right click "Full Report (Desktop Web)." • To gain a State view, go to second tab "location", click other locations on button bar, scroll down to US. • When you click on cases from TODAY on the left it will zoom into a state/county only view Investor I hangar.is 4 epic.org EPIC-20-03-24-OSTP-FOIA-20200715-Production-pt1 000040 Re: [EXTERNAL] COVID-19 Tech and Research Task Force: March 16 Update From: To: Cc: Date: Attachments Madi Jacox ''Wilson, Matt B.

To help, we made another summary that shows how this could be plugged into the process. If there is something we can do better let me know.

We continue to get interest from the assessment we have developed. >https://covid-19.navigo.cc/coronavirus/covid-19-my-risk-assessmeut< (made a few more updates today). I am now turning to the recommendations section so we can refine that. The big point here is that we think this thing can help to limit fear, panic , etc and can simultaneously help the various systems do better screening. We would love to hel1> you all. To help, we made another smnmary that shows how this could be plugged into the process. If there is something we can do better let me know. Further, we are receiving interest from other groups on this. At this point, my inclination is to pursue those to help get this out there and going to see if it can help people and systems. Let me know if you see any issues there. If any of you would like to talk directly or want to catch up, I am ready. Thanks and best of luck on you and your work. We are praying and working hard to help our nation right now and are confident that we will get there. I hope the panic and fear can be reduced and that is our goal.

Also adding the CEO of Github @Nat Friedman I know there are many init iatives ongoing but at Microsoft and Gihub we are ready and willing to help in any way we can We are currently work ing on a coup le of things with a number of teams that may be of inte rest and can discuss more on the call: 1. Getting real time ICU utilization data - we have a team that is work ing with local hospita ls in Seattle on a very simple mobile app to collect ICU and other data . It has been tested with 50 nurses and is being rol led out across a number of hospitals tomorrow. We are putting together a proposal to imp lement this at a national level in a very rapid fashion 2. This approach could perhaps also be applied to get better visibility into testing data, particularly as testing expands across the private sector 3. To improve global collaboration on pandemic modelling, we are th inking through how Github could be a central repository for folks to collaborate on and refine models We would love to understand the areas that are of greatest need & urgency and we can work on marshaling Microsoft's resources to address them @Kyla Lehner for scheduling on my end but will prioritize this Rolf From: Kratsios, Michael J.

He's been coordinating with Brad Smith (President/ chief legal officer) and Nat Friedman (CEO GitHub) on some ways that Microsoft can assist in the governments efforts to prevent the spread and mitigate the effects of COVID-19. I mentioned to Rolf that you'd like to get him in contact with your CTO and that a brief summary of some potential areas of assistance might be helpful. I'll let him weigh in with more detail there.
