The Way Healthcare Learns
The promise of better patient outcomes
The rise of medical ultrasound use for bedside assessment, di-
agnostics, perioperative monitoring and guided interventions
has been driven by improvement in technology, cost-effec-
tiveness and growing clinical evidence of improved patient
outcomes through reduced errors and complications. The
value of ultrasound is so widely recognized that it has been
termed the stethoscope of the future.
The use of ultrasound can improve patient management and
outcomes, but its effectiveness is highly dependent on the skill
of the practitioner. The rapid growth in ultrasound has resulted
in a need for effective training solutions.
These training solutions must:
n
Meet specific training requirements based on the
background and specialty of the trainee
n
Effectively allow the trainee to build the skills
necessary to apply ultrasound to clinical practice
n
Minimize patient risk
n
Be scalable to efficiently meet the enormous
demand for training
