==== System Availability and Data Integrity ==== | ==== System Availability and Data Integrity ==== | ||
- | As with any cloud based application there is always concern with system availability and uptime. Astroid makes use of caching at various system levels to improve performance and mitigate some of these concerns, however, this can never provide 100% assurance and reliability. Since customer has unique needs, specific business agreements will be entered into with each customer as appropriate to detail the reliability guarantees and assurances. Data integrity is generally a less variable concern, as Astroid' | + | FIXME - We need to discuss |
- | + | ||
- | Since data integrity is such a critical feature for application such as this, the Astroid Planning App automatically saves both the state of the application and the working record data on a timer (triggering every minute or less) as well as on exit of any create or edit event in the application. Additionally, | + | |
==== Coordinates and Units of Measure ==== | ==== Coordinates and Units of Measure ==== | ||

- | * All radiation dose quantities will be shown with their corresponding units within the application (e.g. Gy(RBE) or %) | + | |
- | * All date/time values are provided in a // dd/mm/yyyy h:m:s // format using local time on a 24 hour clock | + | |
- | * All date and time notifications in Astroid should match current Windows OS date and time, including proper use of daylight savings time where appropriate (note: Astroid will display in 24 hour format, while Windows may display in am/pm depending on local settings) | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ==== Data Validation | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Users are responsible for inputting a lot of data into the Astroid Planning App to develop clinical treatment plans. In the course of entering such data, there are opportunities for users to enter incorrect information. Although users are responsible for checking for such errors before clinical treatment, Astroid does provide some assistance in ensuring data limitations are met by a plan. Machine energy (range) limits, gantry angles, patient support (couch) angles, snout extensions, as well as shifter and aperture sizes and availability are all explicitly limited to user configured levels within the Astroid Planning App controls.
