EHDI Data Management With HiTrack


HiTrack has been designed specifically to meet the data needs of state EHDI and hospital-based hearing screening Program Coordinators. Our software will make your EHDI Data Management as easy as 1-2-3.


Screening is the first step in managing a newborn hearing program. HiTrack's user-friendly prompts help you import demographic data and screening results from screening equipment.
After screening you'll need a way to track children who need follow up services. HiTrack makes this process simple by providing visual cues on "next steps" needed and by generating lists of children whose follow-up is upcoming or overdue.


Lastly, you'll need to communicate information on child progress and screening program status to relevant parties such as health care providers, hospitals and state and regional agencies. With the use of customizable letters and reports, a potentially time-consuming task is accomplished with just a few clicks of a mouse.


Features in HiTrack 4 (only Windows version)


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.

 


Hearing Screening Protocol EngineTM


HiTrack's Hearing Screening Protocol EngineTM is a rule-based system that governs how infants are tracked. Based on the screening protocol selected by the Screening Program Coordinator, the software automatically suggests the "next step" needed for each baby being tracked through the screening and follow-up process. 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 

  •     Two-Stage Dual Equipment Auto-Pass Only
  •     Two-Stage Dual Equipment Automated

Import & Merge Data


HiTrack's advanced Importer and Merger are both rule-based systems designed to be flexible and efficient. Data from external sources are merged in batches allowing error-free records to flow into the central database while questionable records are set aside for correction at the user's convenience.
