Hospital data sent through the system managed by TeleTracking is integrated with a database called HHS Protect Now which Peter Thiel's company Palantir helped build
Here's April 2020 $7,500,000 contract for Palantir with Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration (ASA) for "Palantir HHS Protect Platform Services"

A search on "HHS Protect" shows one result, so it's not clear any other vendors worked on this
