GOVERNOR CUOMO LAUNCHES EMERGENCY TRACKING SYSTEM TO LOCATE PATIENTS DURING EMERGENCIES AND EVACUATIONS
NYS e-FINDS is in Place for 2013 Hurricane Season
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that New York State is launching a statewide emergency tracking system to ensure the safety of patients and residents when healthcare and human services facilities are forced to evacuate as a result of a natural disaster.
The New York State Evacuation of Facilities in Disasters System (NYS e-FINDS) is a secure, confidential, fast and easy-to-use system to provide real-time access to patient locations. The system will be in place for the 2013 hurricane season, with training for providers beginning next week.
