POCUS without chaos: How health systems build workflows that actually work


Tuesday, January 27th, 2026 | 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM CT

Point-of-care ultrasound programs often grow faster than the workflows supporting them. Images live in silos. Exams go undocumented. Billing is missed. And leaders lack a clear view of ROI.

Health systems like Baylor Scott & White Health, Yale New Haven Health and University of Maryland Medical System have taken a different approach — treating POCUS as an enterprise workflow, not a side project.

In this live session, system ultrasound, emergency medicine and IT leaders share how they've built scalable POCUS programs that improve documentation, reduce risk and surface real financial impact across departments.

Learnings include:
 
  • How undocumented or unbilled POCUS exams quietly erode revenue
  • The governance, IT and clinical decisions required to scale POCUS beyond individual departments
  • What successful systemwide deployments get right — from integration strategy to ongoing support
