Brief Summary  

Point-of-care ultrasound is routinely performed in the emergency department, which helps in diagnostic accuracy, providing timely care , and procedural safety.It is rapid and has high diagnostic accuracy in detecting potentially life threatening pathologies so that fast and timely intervention can save the lives of patients.Emergency Medicine residents should be competent enough to perform POCUS and reach correct diagnoses which requires POCUS documentation adhering to standard reporting guidelines.Improving documentation and image archiving will lead on to quality improvement of POCUS.It also helps in enhancing residents confidence and proficiency in performing POCUS.we are conducting an implementation research study with a mixed method approach in which we measure the current quality of point-of-care ultrasound documentation in our emergency department and implement the ACEP guidelines standard reporting format, and we estimate the change in proportion of scans compliant with standard reporting guidelines. We conduct focused group discussions to identify the factors that hinder the adoption and implementation of standard reporting guidelines; based on the feedback collected, we modify the implementation strategy and implement it in different iterative cycles. By the end of our study we aim to increase the number of scans properly documented according to ACEP standard reporting format.
