State DOH Reporting for COVID-19 Site Closures
The New York Patient Occurrence Reporting and Tracking System (NYPORTS) is a mandatory adverse event reporting system established pursuant to Public Health Law 2805-l and Title 10 New York Code, Rules and Regulations 405.8 and 751.10. A report to NYPORTS is mandatory for all Article 28 Diagnostic & Treatment Centers if they close any of their locations due to COVID-19.
Submitting to NYPORTS
Health Centers should use the 932 code for any type of closure, termination or diversion of services related to COVID-19.
