This book addresses the diverse challenges clinical ultrasound program leaders face, including choosing equipment, building quality improvement programs, understanding credentialing and privileging, and optimizing reimbursement. While mastering the ultrasound probe may seem straightforward, the real challenge lies in delivering safe, efficient, meaningful, transferable, and reimbursable services in modern medicine.

This update to the widely used predecessor expands on the original chapters and introduces new ones that explore nuanced aspects of ultrasound program management. Early chapters focus on leadership in ultrasound programs within departments or institutions. Later chapters delve into specific applications, such as hospitalist services, outpatient medicine, pediatrics, prehospital care, and intensive care units. This edition also highlights emerging technologies and their integration into an ultrasound program. New chapters cover topics such as "Social Media in Ultrasound Management," "Cybersecurity," "Artificial Intelligence in Point-of-Care Ultrasound," and "Practical Operating Solutions for Resource-Limited Settings."

This edition of Ultrasound Program Management will be invaluable for ultrasound program and medical academic leaders, and those seeking to build successful clinician-performed ultrasound programs.
