We believe it can revolutionize treatment for critical care patients by bringing much-needed insight to the most complex and urgent medical scenarios.” 🔍 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dcXUkY-B 📰 Follow Guided Solutions to receive the latest #MedTech news daily and subscribe to our weekly newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dT52nxHH #MedicalDevices #MedicalDevice #MedicalEquipment #Medicine #HealthTech #Surgeons #GuidedSolutions

Does high-quality, compassionate care through a teleultrasound service model sound too good to be true? It isn’t! We’re pleased to report that telesonography is both a good solution for under-resourced facilities and a truly compassionate experience for patients. Just listen to what our clients and patients have to say about it: “Offering in-house ultrasounds through TeleScan has been a game-changer for our patients. The image quality is fantastic, and we can review results with our patients on the same day. That prevents a lot of frustration and anxiety for them and enables quicker treatment and care from us.” - OB/GYN Provider, Rural Texas “TeleScan helps us provide better access to care for our patients.” - Dr. R., Austin, Texas We love this about TeleScan. Clinicians can stop sending their patients to third-party imaging centers and keep them closer to home, closer to their support networks, and closer to their known healthcare providers. It’s truly a win-win. So, they might like the convenience, but are patients happy with the experience of tele-mediated ultrasound services? See what they say below: “They took their time, and the ultrasounds didn't feel rushed—which I loved.” - TeleScan Patient “I was nervous to not have an actual sonographer performing the exam, but my mind was put to ease with great quality of care. I am impressed with how quick and easy the process is!” - TeleScan Patient A TeleScan exam still puts a healthcare professional at the bedside who is able to administer the exam while making the patient comfortable and keeping them at-ease. And behind the scenes, a credentialed perinatal telesonographer provides the highest quality of image analysis. To learn more about TeleScan’s impact for providers and patients, visit our website.

Aidoc, a leading health technology company, has unveiled ground-breaking AI-powered patient management technology that promises to revolutionize healthcare delivery. This innovative solution, part of Aidoc's aiOS™ platform, significantly enhances the identification and monitoring of patients requiring follow-up care for incidental or chronic conditions. Yale New Haven Hospital's implementation of Aidoc's aortic aneurysms (AA) patient management solution yielded impressive results. Dr. Edouard Aboian, assistant professor of vascular surgery at Yale School of Medicine, stated, "Aidoc's comprehensive patient management platform has transformed our approach to patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA)." The hospital saw clinic volume for follow-ups nearly double, time to intervention decrease from 270 to 58 days, and a 62% reduction in aneurysm rupture rates. Elad Walach, CEO of Aidoc, emphasized, "Our platform doesn't just enhance diagnostic precision—it revolutionizes the entire follow-up process, ensuring no patient falls through the cracks." This technology represents a paradigm shift in healthcare, making it more proactive, precise, and patient-centric. https://lnkd.in/gbcP8RfA 📰 Stay ahead of the curve by following Practical Patient Care on LinkedIn for more industry news and insights.

This article explores the wide-ranging benefits and multiple applications of Point-of-Care Ultrasonography in the field of healthcare. From rapid diagnosis to improved patient care, this technology is transforming medicine. #MedicalInnovations #Ultrasound #HealthcareAdvances #PointOfCare

Bridging the Gap in Rural Healthcare with Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) In rural areas, access to advanced diagnostic tools is often limited, posing challenges for healthcare providers and patients alike. But there’s a powerful tool that’s changing the landscape: Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS). A recent study highlights the untapped potential of POCUS among rural family physicians in Iowa, showing that while its use is currently limited, the benefits are undeniable. POCUS offers rural healthcare providers a critical advantage—enabling faster, more accurate diagnoses without the need for patient transfers to larger facilities. Imagine the impact this could have on patient outcomes in remote communities. At Vave, we’re committed to empowering healthcare professionals everywhere, especially those in underserved areas. Our portable, user-friendly ultrasound devices are designed to bring advanced imaging capabilities right to the patient’s bedside, wherever that may be. Let’s work together to make healthcare more accessible and equitable. The future of rural healthcare is here, and it’s handheld. https://lnkd.in/gNY7-ygg #RuralHealth #POCUS #HealthcareInnovation #VaveHealth #Ultrasound #FamilyMedicine #HealthcareEquity

Come visit us at our booth at STFM (Official) Society of Teachers of Family Medicine! Global Ultrasound Institute (GUSI) was founded by Family Medicine Physicians Mena Ramos, MD and Kevin Bergman who wanted to lower the barriers to meaningful POCUS adoption in #FamilyMedicine through excellence in POCUS education, longitudinal mentorship, and the tools to make it easier for POCUS champions to review scans and get their learners credentialed. "#POCUS is a pluripotent tool for a pluripotent specialty. We've taught #POCUS at #STFM for nearly a decade and it's exciting to see how much the momentum has grown for #POCUS in family medicine and other primary care specialties. More than ever, we need the tools to meet patients where they are, technology that brings patients closer to their healthcare team, and not farther away." - Mena Ramos, MD  Read more about #POCUS in #primarycare at our GUSI blog: https://lnkd.in/eZSK5s6w #Familymedicine #Healthequity #Primarycare #patientcentered

"Revolutionizing Bedside Healthcare: The Impact of Point of Care Ultrasound for Practitioners" Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is transforming the way healthcare is delivered at the bedside, offering practitioners an invaluable tool for real-time diagnostic insights and improved patient care. In this post, we explore the profound implications of POCUS on bedside healthcare provision: 1. Immediate Diagnostic Clarity: With POCUS, practitioners can swiftly assess patients directly at the bedside, enabling timely diagnosis and treatment decisions without the need for additional imaging or delays. 2. Enhanced Patient Safety: By reducing the reliance on external imaging facilities, POCUS minimizes patient transfers and associated risks, leading to safer and more efficient care delivery, particularly in critical or time-sensitive situations. 3. Personalized Treatment Plans: POCUS empowers practitioners to tailor treatment plans based on individual patient needs, as they can quickly visualize anatomical structures and dynamic processes, guiding interventions in real time. 4. Expanded Scope of Practice: Integrating POCUS into clinical practice expands the capabilities of practitioners across various specialties, from emergency medicine and critical care to primary care and obstetrics, enriching their diagnostic arsenal and improving patient outcomes. 5. Patient Centered Care: By bringing diagnostic capabilities directly to the bedside, POCUS fosters a patient-centered approach to healthcare, promoting transparency, engagement, and shared decision making between practitioners and patients. 6. As POCUS continues to evolve and become more accessible, its widespread adoption holds tremendous promise for revolutionizing bedside healthcare provision, ultimately enhancing patient experiences and outcomes. Embracing this technology empowers practitioners to deliver safer, more efficient, and more personalized care at the point of need. #POCUS #BedsideHealthcare #PatientCentricCare Ultrasound Trainings https://lnkd.in/gsc2nNcc
