A cost-effective way to automate how your facility manages and locates medical charts.
In many hospitals and clinics across South Africa and Africa, misplaced or delayed medical charts can lead to serious inefficiencies — and sometimes even affect patient care. With healthcare teams already stretched thin, every minute spent searching for files is time lost from patient service.
Barcode Tracking Software provides a simple and cost-effective way to automate how your facility manages and locates medical charts. By assigning a unique barcode to each file, your staff can instantly check files in and out, track their movement between departments, and monitor their real-time status — all with a quick scan.
How It Works
The system uses barcode labels printed on standard Avery sheets or Dymo printers, so there’s no need for expensive hardware. In most cases, your facility already has everything required — just add a few barcode scanners.
Once barcodes are attached to each patient chart or file folder, staff can scan them:
- Check-out: When a file leaves records or admin for a ward, doctor, or department.
- Check-in: When the file is returned or received in another location.
It works just like a library system — easy, fast, and reliable. Each scan is time-stamped and user-logged, ensuring full audit trails for compliance and accountability.
Barcode Tracking Software is also fully customizable. Beyond medical charts, you can use it to track:
- Law office files
- Insurance claim documents
- Educational records
- HR or administrative files
For healthcare settings, the system can even print colour-coded side-tab labels to make file identification even faster — perfect for busy hospitals and clinics where quick access matters.
