What populates the ED Dashboard report?

• A. The event times in the Patient Events Log
• B. The List of Current Medications
• C. The Billing Codes Summary
• D. The Daily Census Snapshot

Answer: (A)

In the ED, the dashboard is driven by the exact timing of patient events. The Patient Events Log records when a patient arrives, is triaged, begins care, moves between stages, and is discharged, all with precise timestamps. Those event times provide the real-time and historical data the dashboard uses to calculate flow metrics (like door-to-provider time and length of stay) and to show how patients move through the ED. The List of Current Medications sits in the medication record and isn’t used to track patient flow. The Billing Codes Summary relates to charges rather than patient movement. While a Daily Census Snapshot shows a single point-in-time view, the dashboard needs the continuous event-time data to populate trends and statuses across the ED.
