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.

Hearing Screening Protocol EngineTM

HiTrack's Hearing Screening Protocol EngineTM is a rule-based system that governs how infants are tracked.

Users can select a protocol to best suit their facility's data tracking needs:

  • Two-Stage Automated Pass/Manual Non-Pass
  • Two-Stage Fully Automated
  • Two-Stage Manual
  • Two-Stage Inpatient Automated (Only)
  • Two-Stage Dual Equipment Auto-Pass Only
  • Two-Stage Dual Equipment Automated
