“All the information that I need to manage the Emergency Department is on the ED tracking board. Automatic updates of the patient location, acuity, and color-coded icons that alert me to the staging of the patients in one location allow me to adjust staffing when and where needed, intervene when needed, promote patient safety, and the ability to get the right treatment to the right patient.”
