Abstract:
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) infrastructure is the underpinning of a well integrated POCUS program. In order to achieve its full potential and fully integrate into the health care system, a POCUS program requires a robust and resilient infrastructure. The essential components of POCUS infrastructure are hardware, software, and an informed, well-integrated governance structure. This infrastructure can be leveraged for clinical decision-making, education, research, credentialing, documentation, health record integration as well as quality assurance and improvement.
