Point-of-Care Ultrasonography in Orthopedics: A Helpful Tool to Improve Patient Care
Authors
Abstract:
An enormous technological improvement in Ultrasonography devices has occurred during last decade, providing excellent soft-tissue contrast and high spatial resolution images. Nowadays, musculoskeletal ultrasonography is going to be a stethoscope in the hand of orthopedic surgeons for the diagnosis of many musculoskeletal pathologies, as well as an accurate guide for therapeutic interventions. Therefore, it is wise for practicing orthopedic surgeons to learn musculoskeletal ultrasonography in collaboration with radiology colleagues as this would improve the patients' care .

full textCare everywhere, a point-to-point HIE tool: utilization and impact on patient care in the ED.
BACKGROUND Emergency departments (EDs) routinely struggle with gaps in information when providing patient care. A point to point health information exchange (HIE) model has the potential to effectively fill those gaps. OBJECTIVE To examine the utility, perceived and actual, of a point-to-point HIE tool called Care Everywhere (CE) and its impact on patient care in the ED. METHODS This mixed ...

Management of critically ill patients is challenged by the complexity of underlying pathophysiology, ambiguity of illness syndromes, and rapidly changing physiological status. These unique characteristics of critical illness also justify the need for precision medicine, rather than applying a “one-size-fits all” approach in the ICU [1]. Many large clinical trials, even though supported by stron...
