Using the Tracker

Click Patient Rounding from the list of workflows in the left hand navigation bar.
The patient rounding tracker is the default tab to open within patient rounding and thus will open right away.
Review the patient list displayed. The columns are sortable and include the following information:
- Patient name and current status
- Room and bed information
- Unit admit time
- Length of stay
- Time of the last round and last round score
Additional filters in the top right of the tracker allow leaders to change the unit being viewed and toggle between current and past patients. You can also search for a specific patient using the search feature as needed.
Click on a patient’s row to open a slide-out profile on the right side of the screen, where you can view additional details, including documented rounds and their scores.
Use this view to sort patients, log rounds, review responses by patient, and prioritize follow ups from a single screen.

FAQs

Q: How often is the dashboard updated?
A: The dashboard updates in real time using ADT (admission, discharge and transfer) data from Epic.

Q: Can past patients be viewed on the tracker, and can rounds be conducted for past patients?
A: Yes. Past patients can be viewed and rounds can be documented. Past patients remain visible for a limited number of days, such as 30, based on your health system configuration.

Q: What do New Admit and Discharged statuses mean?
A: The "New Admit" status means that the patient arrived to the hospital within the last 24 hours. The "Discharged" status means that the patient has been discharged from care.

Q: What does room and bed show?
A: Room and Bed shows the patient’s current location.

Q: What does length of stay mean?

Q: What does last round show?
A: Last Round shows the date and time the most recent round was documented for the patient in the current unit.
