What happens when POCUS moves from “interesting tool” to essential part of Urgent Care? In this episode, Lindsey Fish, MD, FCUCM and Tatiana Havryliuk, MD share how point-of-care ultrasound is changing the game for Urgent Care. We dig into high-value use cases, operational realities, and real examples where POCUS altered care plans and avoided ED referrals. The conversation also highlights the Advocacy work needed to support appropriate reimbursement and long-term adoption.
