Abstrakt: Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) provides quick bedside assessment for diagnosing and managing life-threatening conditions in critical care medicine. There has been increasing interest in developing infrastructure to archive images, record clinical interpretation, assess quality, and recoup revenue for POCUS. We present a simple workflow by systems integration of electronic medical record, ultrasound machines, picture archiving, and communication system to facilitate POCUS documentation and billing. We recorded a trend on the number of POCUS performed before and after introduction of the structured integration. We observed and recorded a linear increase over time post-intervention. Our innovative and integrated POCUS workflow is an effective way to document and bill POCUS.
