In the twenty-first century, healthcare organizations can no longer operate in
an environment where the expected pay-pack period for IT projects is measured
in years (elapsed period of time before the project's benefits outweighs the
costs). With changes in technology must come changes in the expected
return-on-investment. The founders of PatientTrak.net believe that improvements
in technology should make it easier and more cost effective to implement new
systems, as shown in the Cost
Comparison Report. These cost improvements should be recognized in all
areas of the IT project, including contract negotiations, installation, system
configuration, training, and period-end data analysis. This is the vision of
PatientTrak.net.
PatientTrak.net was created in order to easily and affordably allow Emergency
Departments and Healthcare Organizations to track and monitor patients via a
simple web browser. The design of PatientTrak.net is highly suitable to an
Emergency Department and user-configurable options and features within the
product make it perfectly suitable for any healthcare department or
organization.
With many healthcare organizations using "dry erase" boards or no tracking
system at all, a computerized patient tracking system provides a more accurate
and complete picture of the organization's patient flow. Other tracking systems
require large upfront investments, involvement of several IT personnel, and
significant training needs. PatientTrak.net was designed to be a simple,
inexpensive solution that serves the needs of the healthcare department.
PatientTrak.net provides a high-level of product features, while still
maintaining the simplicity that is fundamental in the initial design of the
product. In addition to the hosted service provided by PatientTrak.net, the
system can also be implemented on an in-house server for those who desire an
internally hosted application. With this model, source code can be provided to
your organization so that the system can be further tailored and developed for
your organization's specific requirements. Lastly, the architecture of
PatientTrak.net allows for the system to be used on a PDA, with PDA-compatible
screens, without requiring any software installation and maintenance on the PDA
itself.
