This comprehensive guidebook addresses a broad spectrum of issues that program leaders may encounter, ranging from site selection and equipment negotiation to staffing requirements and potential conflict resolution with other programs and services within a hospital or healthcare facility.
The initial chapters are dedicated to empowering your program’s leadership within your department or institution. Subsequently, the emphasis shifts towards education at all levels, acknowledging that the advent of smaller, more portable machines has made ultrasound technology accessible to everyone from medical students to advanced practitioners.
The third section deals with the nitty-gritty of equipment logistics, maintenance, and safety measures. This is followed by an entire section devoted towards enhancing the quality of your program, featuring an inclusive chapter on the workflow process. For those operating on a limited budget, we have a section providing practical solutions for operation and education.
The penultimate section provides insights into hospital-level credentialing, quality assurance, national politics, and recent accreditation issues. It transitions into a discussion on reimbursement and coding. The final section delves into the role of ultrasound in specialized communities, covering topics like global health, emergency medical services, pediatrics, critical care, and community as well as office-based practices.
Accompanying the text are numerous US working documents, including checklists, graphs, spreadsheets, tables, and policy appendices, designed to provide readers with practical tools and resources.
