Patient Tracking: Behind the Scenes of Family Reunification and Patient Support
March 27, 2014 11:00 AM EST
From low technology systems, such as the paper and pencil method, to more advanced electronic systems, patient tracking plays a critical role in reunifying families and providing resources for long term support. Join Alison Parmar, Chair of the COBTH Emergency Management Committee, and the Office of Public Health Preparedness' Stacey Kokaram as they outline patient tracking methods. This one-hour webinar will also describe the larger structure in which patient tracking is integrated; detail the use, value, and security requirements needed for sharing patient location information with approved parties; and use examples from the 2013 Boston Marathon to illustrate the importance of patient tracking in providing patient care.
