Cardiopulmonary Point-of-Care Ultrasonography for Hospitalist Management of Undifferentiated Dyspnea

In this quality improvement study, cardiopulmonary POCUS implementation was associated with a significant reduction in LOS and hospitalization costs, highlighting its clinical utility and potential for improved hospital efficiency; however, limited adoption by hospitalists underscores the need for ongoing training, support, and professional incentives to strengthen competency and motivation. Multicenter studies are needed to evaluate tailored educational models and sustainable support systems to optimize long-term integration of POCUS into routine practice.
