TMA Technology introduces ROPE database

TMA Technology Ltd. has released an online application service provider (ASP) product for documenting and reporting quality indicators in the clinic.

The Radiation Oncology Performance Enhancement (ROPE) database can be accessed through any workstation, laptop or PDA with internet access to track patient, personnel and equipment QA. Report generation provides data for JCAHO and ACR accreditation, federal and state inspections, as well as data to help healthcare staff to implement best practices for quality improvement.

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