POCUS Improves Patient Experience in Primary Care

Integrating Ultrasound into Primary Care Setting

International Community Health Services (ICHS) is a nonprofit community health center that provides affordable medical, dental, behavioral care and health education services to Seattle. ICHS serves a highly diverse and ethnic population, while providing access to healthcare for low income and underserved populations.

ICHS had a goal to drive greater compliance and better outcomes and to provide as many services on site as possible. Sonosite partnered with ICHS to make point of care ultrasound services available in their community health centers. See how ICHS improved the patient experience and provided additional services to their patients.

After the implementation of OB ultrasound scanning, ICHS was able to expand the use of ultrasound to other areas. See how ICHS found alternative uses for ultrasound in their clinic.
