Which elements are typically documented in the ED Trackboard view?

• A. Attending, resident, HPI, ROS, History, Physical Exam, MDM, Procedures, and attestations
• B. Billing codes only
• C. Imaging results only
• D. Disposition options

Answer: (A)

The ED Trackboard is a real-time dashboard designed to show who is supervising and caring for each patient and where that patient stands in the documentation and care process. That’s why including both the care-team assignments and the key encounter components makes sense: Attending and resident identify who is responsible for oversight and accountability, which is essential for coordinating care and escalation if needed. The elements from the patient encounter—HPI, ROS, History, Physical Exam, Medical Decision Making (MDM), Procedures, and attestations—provide a concise snapshot of what has been documented or is in progress, so the team can quickly gauge the patient’s status and what remains to be completed without digging through the full chart. This combination supports efficient communication and workflow in a busy ED environment.

Other options focus on parts of the chart or billing in isolation (imaging results, billing codes, or only disposition options) and don’t provide the comprehensive, at-a-glance view that the trackboard is meant to offer.
