Course Section Details

eFINDS is a tracking system/application on the Health Commerce System (HCS) that should be used by a healthcare 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.
