Using the Connect Care Tracker

The Connect Care Tracker has benefited from many recent improvements, including expansion to handle Clinical System Design (CSD) issues and requests. It continues to record and track design decisions.

As the results of design decisions are presented for validation, important feedback and correction advice should be recorded as edits and additions to the original CSD decision, as found in Tracker. Significant new challenges identified during validation discussions -- requiring resources for further characterization, analysis, problem-solving and oversight --  can be recorded as "Issues" to ensure that accountability is assigned and outcomes are tracked. Validation work may also trigger requests for entirely new functions or clinical content, which can be entered and tracked as "Requests".
