Health Center Tracking Systems: FTCA Compliance and Risk Mitigation
In today's complex healthcare environment, robust tracking systems are crucial for ensuring patient safety and maintaining continuity of care for health centers’ most vulnerable patients. The potential consequences of health centers not maintaining an effective tracking program are poor patient outcomes, dissatisfied patients, ineffective communication, and potential medical malpractice lawsuits. Not only do tracking programs lower risk and improve care, but community health centers must implement comprehensive tracking systems for referrals, hospitalizations, and diagnostics to meet HRSA and Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) requirements.
