TMA Technology releases ROPE database

TMA Technology Ltd. has produced an online application service provider (ASP) product to document and report quality indicators in the clinic.

The Radiation Oncology Performance Enhancement (ROPE) database can be accessed via any workstation, laptop or PDA with internet access to track patient, personnel and equipment QA.

The report generation feature is designed to provide data for Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and American College of Radiology (ACR) accreditation, federal and state inspections, and best practices data for facilities' quality improvement.

ROPE works seamlessly with the web portal,  www.TMATech.com, which provides content, such as policies, procedures, and forms utilized daily in the clinic.
