Features in HITRACK 4 Web Companion

The HITRACK 4 Series represents the cutting-edge of EHDI Data Management.  The HITRACK 4 database is built around a dynamic framework to provide the logic needed for managing the complex requirements of EHDI tracking and follow-up. The HITRACK clients offer a task-oriented user interface and are designed for maximum flexibility.

The HITRACK 4 Web Companion allows HITRACK users to connect to a centrally hosted database from any web-enabled location. Using HITRACK through the Web Companion offers users the same data and user interface as users of the Windows client. You can think of the Web Companion as a more mobile way to work with HITRACK.

We strongly suggest that State or Regional coordinators review our Considerations for Web Based Data Management documentation.

Two-Stage Automated Pass/Manual Non-Pass
Two-Stage Fully Automated
Two-Stage Manual
Two-Stage Inpatient Automated (Only)
