Features in HITRACK 4 Windows


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 client offers a task-oriented user interface and is designed for maximum flexibility.

The Windows Client offers all of the HITRACK functionality in a quick, responsive Windows application that requires minimal configuration. The Windows Client allows each HITRACK user to run their own individual database, or they can connect to a remotely hosted database to access the same data as other HITRACK 4 users (Web and Windows).
