Over the span of 13 years, BannerHealth has incrementally adopted PoCUS (Point-of-care ultrasonography) across the health system through organic growth, unintended disruption and  intended disruption.

About Glimpse Glimpse was introduced in May 2014 as a blog-based video channel focusing on the field of visual medicine and recent progress in the field. The show is produced by Sonosite FUJIFILM, Inc. and hosted by John Nosta, DIGITAL HEALTH philosopher, strategist & advocate.

This past March three PURE trainers (http://www.pureultrasound.org/) traveled to Rwanda to teach point of care ultrasound to 15 internal medicine resident trainees as well as 11 general practitioners working in the emergency department at the country’s main government teaching and referral hospital.

The Sonosite Edge portable Ultrasound system provides beautiful images of the ribs and soft tissues for "match-day" diagnosis. This information allows the physician and coach to make an informed decision of whether the player should be sent back out in the field.

Why be satisfied with any failed blocks when you can avoid them altogether?

Clinical evidence and research supports using ultrasound as the first diagnostic test for numerous musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. Diagnostic ultrasound offers a number of important advantages compared to computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in terms of safety and effectiveness. Diagnostic ultrasound is noninvasive and offers real-time imaging, allowing for examinations of structures at rest and in motion.
