A National Survey on Point of Care Ultrasonography Use Among Veterans Affairs Clinicians in Home Care and Skilled Nursing Facilities
Older adults who are homebound and those in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) often have limited access to point of care imaging to inform clinical decision making. Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) can help span this gap by augmenting the physical examination to aid in diagnosis and triaging. Although training in POCUS for medical trainees is becoming more common and may focus on settings such as the emergency department, intensive care unit, and inpatient care, little is known about POCUS training among practicing clinicians who work outside of these settings.
