POCUS receives CUAP reaccreditation
From the Desk of Dr. Jessica Solis-McCarthy:
Team,
I want to formally announce that UT Health San Antonio Emergency Medicine’s Point-of-Care Ultrasound program has received CUAP reaccreditation for the next 3 years. Our POCUS program is one of a select few in the country to meet the standards developed by the Clinical Ultrasound Accreditation Program (CUAP) of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP).
To achieve this accreditation, our US Division provided extensive documentation of our training and quality assurance measures. These were then reviewed by a national board of experts in emergency ultrasound. Accreditation by CUAP is given to programs that meet the high standards established by ACEP.
Our successful CUAP reaccreditation belongs to all of you. It is the direct result of our faculty’s collaborative spirit and the high standard of POCUS execution in our Emergency Department. Every feedback ++ e-mail sent, every training image obtained, every billable POCUS scan performed, every transducer properly cleaned and stored away, and every Friday QA session has built the foundation for this achievement. This accreditation validates the clinical significance of your work and reinforces the high standard of care we provide at the bedside.
Join me in congratulating and celebrating our ultrasound program and faculty as well as each one of you who relentlessly pursue and uphold our gold standard of excellence in POCUS every single day.
