Building and Maintaining an Ultrasound Program: It Takes a Village

Abstract

Building and maintaining a successful point-of-care ultrasound program is a complex process that involves establishing an ecosystem between three unique but overlapping domains: ultrasound equipment, ultrasound users, and the health care system. By highlighting the different areas of focus and each of the key stakeholders and components, a group can ensure adequate attention is paid to all aspects of point-of-care ultrasound program development in nephrology.
