While interest in and utilization of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is expanding quickly, practicing clinicians are often left wondering how to find training, get credentialed, obtain reimbursement, incorporate POCUS into their practice, and spearhead POCUS programs in their work environment. This panel of experts is here to discuss strategies and approaches to common questions, problems, and pain points that arise at various stages of POCUS implementation. This will be an interactive session in which audience members will be encouraged to ask questions of the panel.

Note: This session requires separate registration and has limited seating. Sign up when you register for conference.

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of POCUS training programs and the difference between credentialing and certification
  • Effectively save, document, and bill for POCUS studies
  • Identify the key stakeholders in starting a POCUS program
  • List the key components of a POCUS quality assurance program
  • Create a strategy to bring POCUS into their clinical practice
