What is the ED Trackboard view used for?

• A. Documenting the attending, resident, HPI, ROS, History, Physical Exam, MDM, Procedures, and attestations
• B. Managing patient billing
• C. Scheduling follow-ups only
• D. Viewing imaging results only

Answer: (A)

The ED Trackboard view is the real-time interface that supports documenting an ED encounter. It shows who is responsible for the patient (attending and resident) and tracks the key documentation components of the visit: History of Present Illness, Review of Systems, the History and Physical Exam, Medical Decision Making, any procedures performed, and attestations. Seeing these elements in one place helps the care team coordinate, assign tasks, and ensure the chart is complete as the patient moves through the ED. It isn’t primarily a billing tool, nor is it solely for scheduling follow-ups or only for viewing imaging results.
