The Texas Department of State Health Services has updated its Interactive Respiratory Illness Dashboard to include updated hospitalization reporting and more visual features. The dashboard, which launched in January, also includes data on emergency department visits and deaths from influenza, COVID-19 and RSV and is accessible through DSHS’s Texas Health Data site.
Texans and health care professionals can use the dashboard to inform health care decisions. In addition to the dashboard, DSHS publishes a weekly Texas Respiratory Virus Surveillance Report with laboratory results, outpatient influenza-like illness surveillance, regional and county-level data, and more.
