COURSE DESCRIPTION:
eFINDS is a tracking system/application on the Health Commerce System (HCS) that should be used by a health care facility in the event of an emergent, urgent, or planned evacuation. The application captures minimal amounts of data and allows facilities to track the patient/resident movement to other facilities, facility types, or temporary shelters.
Hospitals that need to build capacity or need to replace an eFINDS facility-based trainer who can no longer fulfill this responsibility should send a staff person to this training.
