Playbook
Implementation of Butterfly iQ into EMS.
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is common in emergency medicine, yet there is a significant gap in utilization by pre-hospital providers—despite evidence that POCUS alters management and improves outcomes in many patients with emergent presentations. This playbook is designed to provide solutions to frequently encountered barriers of ultrasound adoption by Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers.
We’ll cover:
- How pre-hospital POCUS can help providers diagnose and potentially treat patients while in transport to the emergency department
- Barriers to adoption you may come across during POCUS implementation to pre-hospital providers and how to overcome them
- Factors to account for during post-POCUS implementation to ensure continued success
Read this playbook to understand what your EMS practice needs to implement POCUS and treat patients pre-hospital.
