The ever-increasing data demands in a radiation oncology (RO) clinic require medical physicists to have a clearer understanding of the information technology (IT) resource management issues. Clear lines of collaboration and communication among administrators, medical physicists, IT staff, equipment service engineers and vendors need to be established. In order to develop a better understanding of the clinical needs and responsibilities of these various groups, an overview of the role of IT in RO is provided. This is followed by a list of IT related tasks and a resource map. The skill set and knowledge required to implement these tasks are described for the various RO professionals. Finally, various models for assessing one's IT resource needs are described. The exposition of ideas in this white paper is intended to be broad, in order to raise the level of awareness of the RO community; the details behind these concepts will not be given here and are best left to future task group reports.
在放射肿瘤学 (RO) 诊所中，不断增长的数据需求要求医学物理学家更清楚地了解信息技术 (IT) 资源管理问题。需要建立管理员、医学物理学家、IT 人员、设备服务工程师和供应商之间明确的协作和沟通渠道。为了更好地了解这些不同群体的临床需求和责任，提供了 IT 在 RO 中的作用概述。接下来是一份与 IT 相关的任务列表和资源图。为了实施这些任务，描述了各种 RO 专业人员所需的技能集和知识。最后，描述了评估 IT 资源需求的各种模型。本文白皮书的观点阐述旨在广泛，以提高 RO 社区的认识水平；这些概念背后的细节将不在这里给出，最好留给未来的任务组报告。
