Learn about the PRIME Data Hub

Public health departments receive SimpleReport testing data via the PRIME Data Hub. The Data Hub is a free and open-sourced data platform that makes it easier for testing facilities to send their COVID-19 rapid test data to public health departments.

There are three main reasons for public health departments to use the Data Hub:

  • You’ll receive data from SimpleReport. If your jurisdiction wants to receive point-of-care tests results from SimpleReport, you’ll need to build an integration with the Data Hub.
  • You’ll have to support fewer connections. The Data Hub’s model focuses on aggregating data from multiple sources and senders, which you’ll receive together in a single feed.
  • You’ll get more complete, timely data. The Data Hub validates data from its senders and transfers it to you at your preferred frequency and in your preferred format.
