Iowa : Long-term care metadata history

Iowa reports long-term-care data only for for Skilled Nursing Facilities according to outreach with Iowa's information public officers. Iowa reports deaths cumulatively and cases associated with current outbreaks. According to conversations CTP had with health officials, Iowa defines an outbreak as a facility with three or more cases in a 14-day period. Cumulative deaths include deaths from outbreak and non-outbreak facilities. Residents and staff are reported combined for cases and deaths. Data is updated on an ad hoc basis. Iowa has provided a varied set of metrics both directly to CTP and through their COVID-19 dashboard. Iowa provides outbreak totals for long-term-care data and, occasionally, cumulative totals via email to CTP. On November 26, 2020, in an effort try and provide the best estimate of cumulative cases, we began to use the highest outbreak total of cases and subtract the most recent cumulative data provided by the state health department. That difference is added to the cumulative data to best estimate a cumulative number. Because of this methodology, our estimated cumulative case total for Iowa is likely an undercount.
