About Us

How it all began


PatientTrak’s journey began in 2006, following a conversation between the founder, Phil Trimble and his wife, Marie, an ED nurse. After a busy and stressful shift at the hospital, she explained how difficult it was to keep track of patients and their status using a whiteboard.

Her experience that day had been particularly challenging and talking it through highlighted the difficulty healthcare staff can have with communicating needs and status.  The whiteboard wasn’t working. It was fixed in one spot which forced staff to go to a single area to view patient flow information.  All of the relevant patient tracking information including doctor and nurse assignments, bed number, whether lab results were pending, and other diagnostic information and timing could only be accessed from the lone whiteboard. 

Frustratingly, staff then had to walk to the back of the ED department to continually check patient status.  The conversation progressed into the idea that some sort of electronic, software driven whiteboard must be possible.  Surely it would be much more efficient if the whiteboard information was in a collaborative space on a computer.

And so PatientTrak’s journey began. From a simple conversation about ED challenges, our software solution was born.
