POCUS consultation and implementation
Why settle for just a consultation?
This package offers more than just a comprehensive POCUS consultation; it includes full assistance in implementing the recommended plan to swiftly establish your department, clinic, or hospital.
The implementation process will be tailored to the outcomes and suggestions of the POCUS consultation. It may encompass the following:
POCUS Courses
Providers may require additional training in POCUS. Peachtree POCUS will deliver customized courses to meet the specific needs of your providers.
Credentialing
Initial credentialing is crucial. Peachtree POCUS will handle this process, which typically involves completing a course or residency training followed by a specific number of POCUS exams. We'll review the POCUS exams of non-credentialed providers remotely to ensure they meet credentialing requirements.
Workflow Solutions
A recommended POCUS workflow will be proposed, which may involve integrating new technologies such as archival and documentation software or barcode scanners. These technologies often require customization to suit department or clinic specifications. Peachtree POCUS will collaborate with vendors to ensure the solutions meet your needs and address any issues that arise.
Liaison with Vendors
We'll act as intermediaries with ultrasound vendors, archival software vendors, PACS vendors, and any other relevant parties to streamline workflow and troubleshoot as necessary. Our expertise in POCUS can bridge communication gaps to best serve your requirements.
Liaison with Biomedical and IT Personnel
Close collaboration with IT and biomedical personnel is essential for a successful POCUS program. Hospitals often require biomedical approval for new equipment purchases during machine procurement. Additionally, seamless integration between ultrasound machines, archival software, EMRs, and billing systems is vital. Peachtree POCUS will liaise with biomed and IT teams to ensure a smooth workflow.
Liaison with EMR Providers
POCUS documentation occurs within the EMR, making a strong relationship with EMR personnel crucial. Seamless integration between POCUS reports, PACS or archival systems, and billing departments is essential for successful reimbursement. Peachtree POCUS will collaborate closely with EMR providers to optimize documentation efficiency and streamline processes within provider workflows.
Liaison with Coders
Coders unfamiliar with POCUS coding requirements may face challenges. Peachtree POCUS will work with coding and billing personnel to ensure proper coding and submission for reimbursement. We'll ensure coders are proficient in POCUS coding requirements, including CPT codes and modifiers.
