Qualified medical physicists (QMPs) are in a unique position to influence the creation and application of key performance indicators (KPIs) across diverse practices in health care. Developing KPIs requires the involvement of stakeholders in the area of interest. Fundamentally, KPIs should provide actionable information for the stakeholders using or viewing them. During development, it is important to strongly consider the underlying data collection for the KPI, making it automatic whenever possible. Once the KPI has been validated, it is important to setup a review cycle and be prepared to adjust the underlying data or action levels if the KPI is not performing as intended. Examples of specific KPIs for QMPs of common scopes of practice are provided to act as models to aid in implementation. KPIs are a useful tool for QMPs, regardless of the scope of practice or practice environment, to enhance the safety and quality of care being delivered.
合格的医学物理学家（QMP）在影响医疗保健领域不同实践中关键绩效指标（KPI）的创建和应用方面处于独特的地位。制定 KPI 需要利益相关者参与到相关领域中。从根本上说，KPI 应该为使用或查看它们的利益相关者提供可操作的信息。在开发过程中，重要的是要深入考虑 KPI 的基础数据收集，并尽可能使其自动化。一旦 KPI 得到验证，就需要建立一个审查周期，并准备好在 KPI 表现不如预期时调整基础数据或行动水平。提供了常见实践范围的 QMP 的具体 KPI 示例作为模型，以帮助实施。KPI 是 QMP 的有用工具，无论实践范围或实践环境如何，都可以提高所提供护理的安全性和质量。
