PERFORMS

Coraider Services has been appointed to develop a central database system to manage the administration of, and the data collected by the PERFORMS project.

The PERFORMS self-assessment scheme is run by the Applied Vision Research Unit at the University of Derby, UK. It was established by Professor Alastair Gale in 1991 in response to a request from the Royal College of Radiologists and the UK National Health Service Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP). PERFORMS is funded by the NHSBSP, functions as part of their quality assurance process and was designed to give radiologists some insight into their own breast screening skills and diagnostic performance.
