A common trend across health care organizations is the development of key performance indicators (KPIs) for characterizing quality, identifying areas in need of change, and quantifying the impact of change. This article outlines a list of KPIs that can be used to quantify, target, and optimize value and value delivery in medical imaging practice. Of particular focus here is the aspect of practice that should be overseen and informed by the work of medical physicists, along the trajectory and expectations of a Medical Physics 3.0 model. The authors offer a framework for developing site-specific KPIs and several demonstrative clinical examples.
