Not news, so much as politics and stupidity. It's the CDC reports refactored to take CDC out of the picture, and switch it to Teletracking.
Abbie Watson (Jul 15 2020 at 15:00):
Well, there's a few new things in there. Medication tracking and staffing levels, for instance. I don't recall those being in the last version of the implementation guide; and our previous MeasureReports certainly weren't tracking them. Also, with HHS assuming control of the reporting, they may actually have more resources. I feel like they're more likely to put a SANER hub in place than CDC at this point.

So, now that the CDC data has been taken down, do we know where HHS will be hosting it?

Apparently the new HHS website hit the news yesterday:
