Abstract:
This article outlines a roadmap to achieving and maintaining excellence in an ultrasound (US) practice. We present constructive advice on how US practices can achieve and maintain quality, patient and referring physician satisfaction, and efficiency in the setting of rising examination volumes. Accreditation, sonographer and resident/fellow physician training, advanced practice sonographers, and Picture Archiving and Communication System/Artificial Intelligence in US are discussed. Advice for how to begin offering new US examinations, begin a practice at new US locations, improve quality assurance, and enhance marketing are covered.
