"Patient tracking system"

Implementing a Patient Tracking System in a Large EMS System. Accurate tracking of patients poses a significant challenge to prehospital and hospital emergency medical providers in planned and unplanned events. Previous reports on patient tracking systems are limited primarily to descriptive reports of post incident reviews or simulated exercises. Our objective is to report our experience with implementing a patient barcode tracking system during various planned events within a large urban EMS system. In 2018, representatives from the Chicago Department of Public Health, Chicago Fire Department EMS, private EMS agencies, and 27 hospitals in the Chicago EMS System were trained on the use of a web-based patient tracking system using barcoded triage tags and wristbands to monitor triage category

Designing a model of patient tracking system for natural disaster in Iran Disaster patient tracking consists of identifying and registering patients, recording data on their medical conditions, settings priorities for evacuation of scene, locating the patients from scene to health care centers and then till completion of treatment and discharge. The aim of this study was to design a model of patient tracking system for natural disaster in Iran. This applied study was conducted in two steps in 2016. First, data on disaster patient tracking systems used in selected countries were collected from library-printed and electronic references and then compared. Next, a preliminary model of disaster patient tracking system was provided using these systems and validated by Delphi technique and focus

Spatial and rotational quality assurance of 6DOF patient tracking systems External tracking systems used for patient positioning and motion monitoring during radiotherapy are now capable of detecting both translations and rotations. In this work, the authors develop a novel technique to evaluate the 6 degree of freedom 6(DOF) (translations and rotations) performance of external motion tracking of 6DOF patient tracking systems. All observed optical tracking systems were found to exhibit tracking capabilities at the sub-millimeter and subdegree level within a 6DOF workspace.

. TGD people were identified using the ED patient tracking system, triage text and clinical notes in the electronic medical records (eMR). Patient and presentation data were extracted and descriptively analysed, including clinical characteristics, mismatches in registered gender and name, and use of non-affirming language in discharge letters. A total of 340 TGD patients with 1519 ED presentations

patients, and insufficient training. Family support emerged as a key factor in helping patients cope with the disease. Strengthening healthcare delivery through enhanced resource allocation, staff training, patient tracking systems, and targeted financial and psychosocial interventions is essential for equitable and effective care for patients. As India works toward LF elimination by 2027, sustained

, due to its inconvenience, digitalizing this system into a virtual monitoring system via a mobile app can help deliver a more efficient tuberculosis management system. A gamified video-observed therapy is developed that connects three users the patient, supervisor, and administrator, allowing drug monitoring and patient loss to follow up with the patient tracking system. Thus, the objective

the utility assessment of Infomóvel was conducted to make adjustments, a demonstration phase was conducted in one region of Mozambique. The initial subjects of the Infomóvel flowchart and physical process design were patients receiving antiretroviral medication who were enrolled in the patients tracking system and who had consented to home visits. The case manager examines the file before importing

to TB treatment centres were interrupted despite the use of a logistics agency. Poor integration of TB into general health services, weak laboratory capacity, withdrawal of subsidies to community volunteers and patent medicine vendors, poorly funded patient tracking systems, and ineffectual TB/HIV collaboration resulted in weak organisation of TB service delivery. Health systems strengthening for TB

device and dashboard) and automated patient tracking system will create a low cost, highly scalable solution for critically ill children, including those with sepsis. This is pre-post intervention study consisting of three phases. Phase I will be a baseline period where data is collected on key predictors and outcomes before implementation of the digital triage tool. In Phase I

and November 2016. Seventeen in-depth interviews were held with a range of key informants from the MoH and local and international organisations implementing SmartCare. Four data entry observations and three FGDs with 22 pregnant and lactating women seeking PMTCT services were conducted. Data were analysed using a thematic content approach. The SmartCare system has evolved from various patient tracking systems into a multifunctional system. There is a burden of information required so that sometimes not all is collected and entered into the database, resulting in poor data quality. Funding challenges impede data collection due to manpower constraints and shortages of supplies. Challenges associated with data collection depend on whether a paper-based or computer-based system is used

process observation to identify sources of potential delay contributing to EWT. QI methodology such as driver diagrams were utilized to identify interventions, which were then implemented and studied as Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles. Sequential interventions included early start time, huddles involving clinic and echo laboratory staff, patient tracking system, and repurposing of a clinic room for echo. EWT

(mean = 6.3, SD = 0.81), medicines and commodities (mean = 6.3, SD = 0.69), patient tracking system (mean = 6.3, SD = 0.85), and staff knowledge (mean = 6.5, SD = 0.66). The Delphi consultation provided an efficient and structured method for gaining consensus among lymphatic filariasis experts around key lymphoedema management quality indicators. The results from this analysis were used to refine

and register the data related to patients or the dead, no consistent action plan was available. So developing a consistent patient tracking system could overcome this issue and improve patient safety.

dosage and master the techniques and steps of drug administration. In a study, in order to minimize all these application errors and ensure patient safety, equipment connected to information and automation technology, use of smart pump technology, patient wristbands, electronic prompts, use of electronic badges, patient tracking systems, and stocking with electronic barcoding are used during drug

patterns. We demonstrate this approach by identifying common visual search patterns from physicians using a simulated prototype emergency department patient tracking system. We evaluate and compare the visual search pattern results to first-order transition results. We discuss the benefits and limitations of this approach and insights from this initial evaluation.

and nasal cavities. Data collection was conducted by using the hospital centers' electronic medical records and patient tracking systems and confirmed by review of hard copies of patient records. The Veau classification system was used to classify the preoperative cleft severity. A total of 130 patients were identified-23 patients with palatal fistula and 107 controls. A total of 12 girls and 11 boys were

is paramount to accurately assess and rapidly triage patients during a disaster. An example is presented here called OB TRAIN (Obstetric Triage by Resource Allocation for Inpatient). To accomplish a comprehensive obstetric disaster plan, there must be 1) national adoption of a common triage and evacuation language including an effective patient tracking system to avoid maternal-neonatal separation; 2

Assessment of the Reliability of Active Radiofrequency Identification Technology for Patient Tracking in the Pediatric Emergency Department. Radiofrequency identification (RFID) technology has been used in other emergency department settings but has not been assessed in a pediatric emergency department setting for its reliability in its application as a patient tracking system. The goal , physicians, and nurses. Direct observation of these interaction times were recorded by an observer. A patient tracking system based on active RFID technology recorded interaction times between models wearing RFID devices and recorded this information in a computerized data log. Comparison between the direct observation record and the data log was used to determine accuracy, precision, and reliability
