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.
Tracking List Tabs • Depending on your role, the tracking list tabs may vary. • The tab you select displays the active tracking list spreadsheet.
