The Tracker Board displays the status of the Clinical Patient Rooms such as examination rooms, CT scan, Nuclear, etc. To display the Tracker Board Click the word Track in the word group just below the Schedule View Word Commands. See Appointment Scheduling Front Desk Figure 77.
If the room is not occupied by a patient, the tracker shows no activity. If the room is in use, it shows the status and the name of the patient occupying the room. The tracker board will refresh automatically every minute to give the current status of the rooms. The Tracker board also shows the work in process.
