Abstract

The world is experiencing a pandemic caused by the variant of the Coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2, causing the infectious disease COVID-19. Global actions are being carried out to combat this virus, including the Virus Outbreak Data Network (VODAN), which aims to establish a federated data infrastructure aligned with the FAIR principles and which supports the data collect from medical records of patients infected with high contagion.

This article aims to present the national infrastructure aligned with the guidelines and the international network, for collecting and managing data from patient records, of these hospitals, infected with COVID-19, to establish an information model that supports the confrontation of this and other possible pandemics.
