Ultrasound, when used at the point of care, faci litates collaboration and efficient care by yielding immediate finding s that can lead to high value referrals. In cases when advanced diagno stic imaging is medically warranted this allows better targeting of di agnostic studies. Ultrasound should be employed for procedural guidanc e. Expansion of ultrasound to include the echo applications has been t he fastest growing application. Ultrasound enables immediate diagnosis and accelerates treatment sometimes sparing the patient the cost of a more expensive procedure.\nIn healthcare we are advocating for Value- based health care where the key goal is to improve patient outcomes pe r dollar spent. Through more than a half century of use to aid diagnos is and guide procedures, ultrasound has demonstrated in both studies a nd clinical practice that it can—and does—deliver proven value whe n available for use at the point of care. It is the most safe and cost -effective technology available for diagnosis. Having the skills to pe rform focused evaluations of the abdomen, chest, first trimester pregn ancy and heart are necessary for today’s physicians. Participants in this course will benefit from “hands on scan labs” where scanning live models or phantoms to simulate pathology will develop your diagn ostic skills.\nTarget AudienceEmergency Medicine Physicians, Trauma Su rgeons, Critical Care Physicians, Intensivists, Internal Medicine and Family Practice Physicians, Nurses, and first responders who will be p erforming and interpreting point of care ultrasound examinations.\nCME Credits“The Advanced Health Education Center, Ltd. is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.” “The Advanced Healt h Education Center, Ltd. designates this educational activity for a ma ximum of 24 hours AMA PRA Category I™.
