Where do your POCUS images actually live? A practical guide to keeping point-of-care ultrasound findable, retained, and accessible in your enterprise imaging archive and viewer.
Point-of-care ultrasound is one of the fastest-growing sources of medical images in the hospital. The problem is not the scanner. It is that the images those scanners produce routinely escape the systems meant to hold them.
This guide reframes POCUS from a device decision into a data-governance decision. It draws on the consensus governance framework published by the HIMSS-SIIM Enterprise Imaging Community in collaboration with AIUM, and it sets out what a durable archive and a universal viewer need to deliver so that every POCUS study is captured, retained, and available across the patient record.
