Introduction

TotalQA® is a cloud-based software tool that allows users to enter, store, and analyze data accumulated in the clinical setting from quality assurance processes. The video below offers a general overview.

Managing Your TotalQA Account Settings

The first activity that needs to be performed when setting up a TotalQA account is to organize your facility, equipment, and users and determine how you want to perform your QA. This configuration requires a user account with Owner or Physicist Administrator privileges.

After logging into to your TotalQA account click on the Manage link on the main toolbar.

The ‘Manage your QA’ page will appear with a list of available settings categories that can be configured. The order of the categories is the suggested order to proceed when first setting up your facility’s account.

The categories that can be configured are:

• Sites and Machines: The site management page allows you to manage sites for your account. Existing site information may be edited from this page. If you are a small clinic you may only have one site. However, larger establishments may have multiple sites and/or satellites that need to be managed. Once the clinical sites are established, the machines at that site can be connected. 

• Users: In this section, you will create and manage the Users who will be completing, documenting and overseeing your QA processes. This will also establish administrative rights edit and update QA templates, tolerances and baselines, and the techniques used for QA tests in the Schedule settings section.

• Schedule Configurations: This section allows for management of when and how often a QA template will be used. Many of the parameters associated with the scheduled tests can be preset to minimize data entry when performing tests. You will also assign the templates to each machine. You will also setup the baselines from which to measure deviations and the tolerances that will trigger alerts for your tests

Further information on setting up your institution's QA system can be found in the Getting Started Guide
