Emergency Department Ultrasound Credentialing: A Sample Policy and Procedure
The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 08/28/09

Stein JC et al. – Emergency physician use of bedside ultrasound has increased dramatically over the last two decades. However, many emergency departments find it difficult to gain formal hospital credentialing for bedside sonography. The authors present the Emergency Department (ED) Ultrasound Credentialing Policy from the University of California, San Francisco. Although the American College of Emergency Physicians has published formal guidelines on this subject, they are not written in such a way that they are readily transcribed into a document suitable for review by credentialing committees and executive medical boards.
