@ButterflyNetInc 1/
Can you see POCUS be implemented into primary care, despite the constraints of an outpatient clinic visit?

[William Hui, MD @williamhui]

2/2 Clinician feedback (98% response): most agreed the pathway improved patient safety & access, reduced cognitive burden, and cut ED referrals. Model is feasible, acceptable, and may help relieve ED strain—warrants broader implementation studies.

Our primary care POCUS DVT pathway is published!

-evaluated 80 patients—DVT diagnosed in 5% (4/80); ED visits were potentially avoided for 46% (37/80), with estimated cost savings of ~$85,100. Shows feasibility of in-clinic DVT diagnosis.

Excited to share this commentary published in JABFM: An Academic Family Physician’s Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Experience https://t.co/kjrSSNIgsl

[William Hui, MD @williamhui]

- Providers strongly agreed that:
(1) the POCUS DVT clinic improved patient safety & access
(2) When evaluating a borderline DVT concern, the POCUS DVT clinic reduced the clinician's cognitive burden
(3) Without the POCUS DVT clinic, (I) would have sent the patient to the ED

Excited to share this poster recently presented at the @STFM_FM CPQI 9/2025 Conference:

[William Hui, MD @williamhui]

- Results:
- out of 62 patients, 2+ proximal DVT treated, 2+ distal found on follow up imaging within 1 week
- out of 60 patients, 0 had a VTE diagnosis, 3 months after the scan.
-48% potentially avoidable ED visit = cost savings

I really like this checklist as a framework to introducing #POCUS to a department or clinical group, as well as tracking how your program is doing

📊 Exciting findings from a new Canadian study! 🇨🇦🔬 Comparable to the HOCUS POCUS study, the latest article reveals no statistical difference in sensitivity and specificity between DVT POCUS exams and radiology. Precision meets portability! #POCUS thanks @NephroP for sharing!
