These visualizations are populated from data in New Mexico’s Syndromic Surveillance Database. Initial patient encounter information is usually received within 24 hours, but clinical documentation is continuously being updated as it is identified throughout the patient encounter and hospital coding process.

CLI CC with CLI DD and Coronavirus DD includes ED encounters with chief complaint consisting of fever and cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing, while also including COVID-19 associated discharge diagnoses codes. The CLI definition excludes known influenza related ED visits coded with related influenza discharge diagnosis.

ILI CCDD includes ED encounters with chief complaint consisting of fever and cough, while also including ILI and influenza related discharge diagnoses.

Data Sources

• COVID-19 data o New Mexico Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NM-EDSS), Infectious Disease Epidemiology

Bureau, Epidemiology and Response Division, New Mexico Department of Health. o Salesforce/MTX COVID-19 Case Investigation Platform.

• Population Estimates: University of New Mexico, Geospatial and Population Studies (GPS) Program. • Age-adjustment: US 2000 Standard Population Weights • HealthData.gov: https://beta.healthdata.gov/National/COVID-19-Community-Profile-Report/gqxm-d9w9 • Coronavirus-like illness (CLI) and Influenza-like illness (ILI) related emergency department visits and

admissions: New Mexico’s Syndromic Surveillance Database.

Data Notes

• The data reported in this weekly update may not match the daily numbers that are reported in the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) press releases and/or the NMDOH COVID-19 data dashboard. This may be due to variation in the date and time of data extraction from NM-EDSS, corrections after quality assurance review, and differences in the exclusion criteria.

• New Mexico Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NM-EDSS). Disease incidence data are derived from

reports of notifiable infectious diseases. NMDOH relies on health care providers, laboratories, hospitals, clinics, institutions and individuals to report suspected and confirmed notifiable infectious diseases in accordance with New Mexico Administrative Code 7.4.3.13. Under-reporting can occur due to of lack of awareness about reporting requirements or lack of compliance with those requirements. Not all cases of infectious diseases can be detected for various reasons including lack of access to health care services, lack of laboratory testing or concerns about confidentiality. Specific and standardized national case definitions are used to classify disease reports by case status.

• New Mexico Population Estimates. All population estimates apply to July 1 of 2019. Estimates include decimal fractions. The sum of population subgroup estimates may not exactly equal the overall state population estimate due to rounding error. Population estimates for previous years are occasionally revised as new information becomes available. When publishing trend data, always be sure that your rates for earlier years match current rates on NM-IBIS that have been calculated with the most up-to-date population estimates.
