Perspectives on Point-of-Care Ultrasonography Credentialing and Privileging
This study identified common themes and barriers in POCUS implementation and strategies used by exemplar institutions to aid other programs in addressing POCUS privileging and establishing standards for safe and effective POCUS use in patient care. The findings suggest POCUS policy development is important for standardizing its use within institutions, guiding training requirements, and establishing oversight procedures.
