The Gateway

The HHP Industrial Imager serves as a hand-held scanner for MC4 users and is fielded as part of the AN/TYQ-106D(V)1 configuration. Often referred to as the MC4 common access card (CAC) scanner, users can scan a service member’s CAC to populate some of the demographic fields in the outpatient application AHLTA-T versus manually entering the data. Scanning the CAC also enables users to quickly retrieve a patient’s records stored in AHLTA-T without having to search for a patient’s name or social security number. These scanners are available to units upon request as additional authorized items.
