ipTrack is a patient-to-bed tracking application built for a Role 3 Army Field Hospital. It allows all users within a field hospital to see what ward and bed number each in-patient is in, notify service sections of requested services, manifest patients for evacuation, and provide a meal preparation plan for the patients within the hospital.

ipTrack was built to fill a capability gap not addressed by the Army's Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Systems. It is a functional database and application, but was built more as a proof of concept of what needs to be incorporated into a more robust EMR application.

Prior to ipTrack, the patient-to-bed information was maintained on a white board in the Patient Administration secion, limiting visibility and delaying updates. Request for services were made through the archaeic TC2 application, but a follow up phone call to the section was always required to notify them of this request. Information making its way to the operations center for the field hospital was slow.

With ipTrack, updates to patient/bed information can be made anywhere in the field hospital and seen where ever a workstation has ipTrack open. Wards can easily keep track of the patients within their ward and the services associated with them as well as plan for incoming patients. The operations element is provided with a holistic overview of all the patients under their care, providing instant totals on howmany patients are in each Ward and how many total are assigned to the hospital.

ipTrack is provided absolutely free with limited free support.

An introduction to ipTrack: This video is an overview of ipTracks capabilities and features. If you'd like to present your command with the idea of incrporating ipTrack into your field hospital, this is the best video to show them.

Basic User Tutorial: We at Tactical-tech hope that this database is user friendly enough to where a tutorial isn't really neccesary, but just incase it is, this 16 minute video covers the basics.
