Ensure easy chart accessibility. Reduce retrieval time.
ChartLocator is a state-of-the-art, easy-to-use chart tracking tool that ensures your charts are always available.

- Tracks current and past chart locations, including the length of time charts have been at each location.
- Reduces the time required to retrieve loaned medical records.

Optional Components
Optional components of ChartLocator include:
Barcoding
In the time it takes to enter one transaction manually, the Barcoding module for ChartLocator® allows you to process several transactions using the barcode reader. Quickly print barcodes for patient charts and scan barcodes to expedite identifying and tracking patient chart location information. With Barcoding, your chart tracking processes have never been simpler.
Key Benefits and Features
- Simplifies the chart tracking process.
- Reduces the time spent searching for charts.
- Increases productivity.
- Eliminates errors - by scanning barcodes rather than by manually entering transactions.
Transaction Manager
With Transaction Manager, ChartLocatorusers can easily import chart location information using the Intermec Trakker (an import feature/remote device) or from an ASCII file provided by an outside source - such as an offsite storage or microfilm company. With Transaction Manager, you no longer have to retrieve charts and enter transactions at your computer. Instead, quickly walk by filed charts and scan the information using the Trakker. Transaction Manager makes uploading the transactions so simple, and it will save you - and your staff - valuable time previously spent at your workstations.
Key Benefits and Features
- Simplifies the chart tracking process.
- Expedites response to chart requests.
- Eliminates error-prone entry of transaction information - using the Trakker instead of manual entry.
