Patient tracking system

Hey kiddo! So, have you ever played hide and seek with your friends? Sometimes it's hard to find them if they hide really well, right?

Well, in some important places like hospitals and clinics, it's very important to keep track of patients. A patient tracking system is like a game of "find the patient" for the doctors, nurses, and other people who work there.

The patient tracking system helps the grown-ups know where all the patients are, what treatments they need, and how they are doing. This way, everyone can work together to make sure the patients are getting better and staying safe.

Just like how you and your friend might have a secret code or a special handshake to help find each other during hide and seek, the patient tracking system uses special codes and computer programs to keep track of all the patients in the hospital or clinic.

So, whenever someone needs help, the patient tracking system makes sure the grown-ups know where to find them and how to help them get better. Pretty cool, huh?
