i2iTracks is a shared tool to aid quality improvement
at SFCCC clinics. The registry interfaces with the SF Lifetime Clinical
Record (LCR); saving time on data entry for patients receiving ancillary
care at SFGH. i2iTracks is used at clinics to improve care for populations
of interest. Functions include creating condition-specific patient
flow/summary sheets, referral tracking, reporting, and advanced searches.
The training is for new and intermediate users. Clinic leadership
is encouraged to identify new and current users who can lead the way
for improved patient management at your clinic. A successful model
has been to appoint a “ Chronic Disease Coordinator ”
to manage the registry. Lunch served. Space limited. Contact
Varsha Nimbal (vnimbal@sfccc.org,355-2250)
