Description
Summary:To assess point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in 2024, we should start by defining its expanded scope and integration into general and specialty practice. Clinicians should abide by the evolving evidence for POCUS utilization and patient outcomes different from mortality and morbidity, especially as there are notable advancements in handheld ultrasound technology with a clear shift from capability to portability. To reduce diagnostic errors, POCUS practitioners need a holistic framework that accounts for known and new applications. Defining the POCUS scope of practices, proper training, and innovation, like artificial intelligence, can play a bigger role in mitigating diagnostic errors as we move forward.
