1. FirstNet Tracking Lists Overview
The use of tracking lists in FirstNet allows the user to quickly
identify that activity has been done and what needs to be done on a
patient.
Multiple tracking lists allow the user to view the availability (ie. staff
& rooms) and status (ie. patients) of different sectors within the
Emergency department. This allows our Emergency department to
provide efficient medical care to our patients.
The multiple tracking lists are a part of your FirstNet Organizer
which will display as a series of tabs.
Depending on your position in the department, only the tabs that
pertain to you will be viewable from your sign-on.
