  The HIT (Heidelberg Ion Therapy) center is the first dedicated European accelerator facility for cancer therapy using both carbon ions and protons, located at the university hospital in Heidelberg. It provides three fully operational therapy treatment rooms, two with fixed beam exit and a gantry. We are currently developing a web based reporting tool for accelerator operations. Since medical treatment requires a high level of quality assurance, a detailed reporting on beam quality, device failures and technical problems is even more needed than in accelerator operations for science. The reporting tools will allow the operators to create their shift reports with support from automatically derived data, i.e. by providing pre-filled forms based on data from the Oracle database that is part of the proprietary accelerator control system. The reporting tool is based on the Python-powered CherryPy web framework, using SQLAlchemy for object relational mapping. The HTML pages are generated from templates, enriched with jQuery to provide a desktop-like usability. We will report on the system architecture of the tool and the current status, and show screenshots of the user interface.
