Mayo Clinic latest computer toy: "YES" Board patient tracking system

From Mayo Clinic YouTube channel:

Vernon Smith, M.D., an emergency room physician at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, discusses the benefits of the computerized YES Board patient tracking system which he developed over the course of several years and input from hundreds of doctors, nurses and emergency room staff while he worked at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.



According to Mayo Clinic, "the YES board reduces the time required to translate data, allowing physicians to forecast the needs of their patients and track progress. It has the capacity to walk physicians through current and past information for each patient — in addition to all patients collectively. Additionally, the YES Board helps to secure usable space and resources and detect the most at-risk patients and also helps forecast the needs of the patients in the emergency department. Plus, the YES Board can be viewed through any approved computer with an internet connection."
