The importance of ensuring safety in Medical Physics services: ISO 9001 Quality Label: 2015

It discusses about new methodologies and practices in the area of Medical Physics as well as their applicability. The issue of quality in hospitals and clinics, as well as the care with respect to the equipment used in research or quality control tests are approached in Medical physics when encountering the laws and norms that are based on the methodologies to be applied. Care is taken to calibrate the equipment used, verify methodologies, and measure parameters according to the type of equipment to be evaluated. From quality control tests we can analyze the need for maintenance in the equipment for its adequacy according to laws and standards, but not the opposite, the requirement of who is doing the test in relation to the service provided. One of the modes is the ISO 9001: 20151 certification. (author)
