A Software Application for Tracking

ED Staff Continuing Education

 Provided by Illinois EMS for Children

CE Tracker is a Windows-based application that was developed by Illinois EMSC to assist hospitals in tracking credentials and continuing education for physicians, nurses and mid-level practitioners.   It can assist in tracking pediatric hours as part of your requirements for the facility recognition program.  This application can also assist with tracking of trauma hours if your facility is a trauma center, as well as tracking of credentials and continuing education for other internal/external requirements that your facility may have.

In addition to installation files, the downloadable Zip file contains two documents:

• User Guide – this document provides an overview including installation instructions and a quick introduction to application features (as a quick overview, click here (to review this document 334K).
• Tutorial – this document provides a more thorough introduction to the application features using fictitious data (the tutorial takes approximately 30 minutes to complete).

 Recommended steps:

1. Click on the link at the right and download the file to your PC.

2. Unzip the file in a new folder.

3. Review the User Guide.

4. Following the installation instructions detailed in the User Guide, install the program on a single PC (the Setup file will appear in the new folder rather than on a CD).

5. (Optional) Review and use the Tutorial.  (Note: We anticipate that most users will skip this step, but the Tutorial can help users who are not as comfortable with data entry and reporting.)

6. Begin to perform data entry / produce reports. 

If you should have specific questions related to downloading or using this application, please contact Dan Leonard at dleonar@lumc.edu.
