We need studies of ultrasound looking at patient outcomes, not just whether it can be done. The enthusiasm is high but the evidence is not there yet. How does it affect diagnostic accuracy, cost, unintended consequences, etc.

Great points! The impact of ultrasound on patient outcomes is an ongoing area of research, and more high-quality studies are emerging. While POCUS' ability to improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce costs, and minimize complications has been shown in various settings, there’s always room--

for further evidence and discussion. We’re passionate about both advancing ultrasound education and supporting research that explores its true clinical impact. If you have specific studies or concerns in mind, we’d love to hear your thoughts!

First of all, describe the current use of POCUS that we know of- what is it being used for in managing health problems. How does it affect diagnosis and management of these problems relative to cost, promptness of care, patient outcomes and unanticipated costs. Start there.

We appreciate your thoughtful question! While ongoing research is essential, existing studies have demonstrated significant benefits of POCUS in clinical practice.

For example, implementing OB POCUS has been shown to reduce emergency room visits by 80% among patients without miscarriages: https://tinyurl.com/annfammeorg
