Description
Summary:ABSTRACTScience and technology have outpaced our human ability to process and analyze the myriad data systems that extend throughout an enterprise of health care networks. Medical physicists must learn to work collaboratively with computer programmers, data scientists, administrators, and health care providers in the data-rich environment of modern health care, embracing and practicing a new disciplinecloud-based medical physics. This article addresses four distinct topics(1) Evolution of health care systems, networks and electronic medical records (EMR); (2) Evolution of medical physics with scientific discoveries and technological advancements; (3) Evolution of information technology including; metadata, enterprise and the cloud; and (4) Medical physics enterpriseadaptive approach to quality and safety for the 21st Century.
