Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS)

Where Every Second Counts and Every Decision Matters

POCUS demands a workflow that moves as fast as the care it supports — where every second counts and every decision matters. With Enterprise Imaging, both encounter-based and order-based exams flow naturally into a single, connected ecosystem.

POCUS images, documentation, and quality oversight become part of the longitudinal patient record, uniting point-of-care imaging with radiology, cardiology, and other specialties. Clinicians stay present with the patient, confident that every image is captured, governed, and accessible across the enterprise—so clinical focus stays where it belongs, with the patient, not the process.

That’s life in flow.

Why AGFA HealthCare for POCUS

Confidence and Clarity for Every POCUS Exam

A Single Place for Every POCUS Image


POCUS studies are securely managed in the Enterprise Imaging VNA, so every image is accessible when and where it matters most.

Pathways That Follow the Reality of Care


Planned and on-the-fly POCUS exams are captured and completed without disrupting patient care, keeping workflows in motion and clinicians in the moment.

Freedom to Use the Devices You Trust


Handheld and cart-based ultrasound systems connect seamlessly to the Enterprise Imaging ecosystem, letting clinicians work their own way, while the system works for them.

Quality and Clinical Confidence at Every Step


Built-in tools streamline image review, grading, and credentialing, supporting quality across learners, departments, and sites. The result: stronger governance and safer, more consistent care.

Clear Insight into Your POCUS Activity


Usage dashboards and review metrics give leaders the clarity to improve care, not just manage it—without adding administrative burden.

POCUS in the EHR


POCUS images flow directly into the patient’s longitudinal record, so every specialty sees the same story in context, and care becomes easier to coordinate.

Empowering Every Step of Your POCUS Journey

Point of Care Workflows
Point of Care Workflows
Built for Real POCUS Workflows. On-The-Fly and Order-Based.

With Enterprise Imaging, on-the-fly and order-based pathways mirror the way POCUS truly works. Capture, label, store, and review exams within a single enterprise ecosystem that treats every study as part of the patient’s complete imaging record.

Documentation and reporting align with reimbursement and compliance requirements, so you can be confident POCUS exams are complete, accurate, and ready for submission — all without disrupting patient care.

Educational Workflows
Educational Workflows
Clear, Consistent Learning and Evaluation

Education and competency assessment become structured, intuitive parts of clinical work. Dedicated tools and workflows support education, skills reviews, resident competency evaluations, QA reviews and grading, credentialing and privileging. Clear distinction between educational and diagnostic POCUS keeps training studies separate from patient care, documented, tracked, and reviewed. Everything stays organized, transparent, and easy to manage, supporting learning, quality, and confidence.

Advantages

Purpose-built capabilities that keep POCUS in flow

Enterprise Imaging brings all point-of-care ultrasound activity into one connected system, empowering clinicians with workflows that feel natural while keeping image management aligned across the enterprise — so the focus stays on the patient, not the process.

Centralized Capture and Storage
POCUS studies from any device are captured and stored directly within the Enterprise Imaging platform, so that every exam lands in the right place—even in fast-paced, high-pressure environments.

Patient information is populated automatically from encounter or order data, helping prevent mismatches or missing details, supporting safer, more consistent care.

Once saved, images are immediately available across the enterprise through the XERO® Universal Viewer, allowing clinicians to view POCUS studies as part of the complete imaging record — wherever care happens.

Streamlined Documentation and Reporting
Enterprise Imaging supports quick, reliable documentation for point-of-care exams, so reports can be completed without interrupting care.

Structured inputs and required fields keep both encounter-based and order-based workflows on track, helping teams keep their momentum.
Everything is organized in one place, reducing administrative effort and supporting timely access to documentation — so clinicians spend less time managing the system and more time with patients.

Quality Review, Training and Oversight Tools
Enterprise Imaging includes built-in tools for study review, grading, feedback, and competency tracking, reinforcing daily QA as well as long-term skills development.

Diagnostic POCUS and educational POCUS each have their own, distinct pathway, so that training exams remain outside the patient’s medical record while still enabling structured, real-world learning. Clinical leaders can evaluate studies, monitor credentialing progress, and maintain quality standards across teams and departments . The result is strengthened confidence, organizational competence, and care delivery excellence, enterprise-wide.

Your Everyday Workflow for Confident POCUS

Enterprise Imaging for POCUS is designed for the fast-paced, hands-on reality of on-the-fly as well as planned point-of-care medicine. Workflows mirror how exams truly unfold—whether encounter-based or order-based—so images land in the right place automatically without breaking your clinical focus.

You stay fully present with your patient, not managing  technology or chasing images. Documentation and reporting are quick and intuitive, and every exam becomes part of the patient’s longitudinal imaging record. You can perform at the top of your craft, delivering confident, informed decisions in the moment.

  • Encounter-based and order-based workflows that match real POCUS practices.
  • Images stored reliably in the patient record.
  • Fast access to images and prior studies across the enterprise.
  • Easy documentation and reporting without disrupting care.

Your Unified Framework for Consistent, Enterprise-Wide POCUS Management

Enterprise Imaging delivers governance, consistency, and oversight for all POCUS activity by unifying devices, workflows, and data in a single, secure ecosystem. Studies are captured reliably, stored centrally, and linked to the correct patient record, eliminating silos. Scalable support for multiple vendors and seamless EHR integration keeps your environment efficient and aligned with enterprise standards—without the constant pressure of firefighting systems and data.

  • Enterprise-wide governance and visibility across all POCUS activity.
  • Centralized capture and storage, reducing complexity and preventing orphaned images.
  • Support for all DICOM handheld and cart-based ultrasound systems across vendors.
  • Reduced support burden through standardized, predictable processes.

Your Structured Foundation for POCUS Quality, Safety, and Oversight

Enterprise Imaging provides the framework and visibility you need to manage the growing use of point-of-care ultrasound across the organization. Standardized practices, intuitive documentation, and robust QA and credentialing tools help you maintain reliable quality and a high standard of care across all departments, while dedicated diagnostic and educational pathways keep training exams  outside of the patient’s medical record.

Purpose-built workflows support accurate documentation and appropriate revenue recognition where applicable— reinforcing both quality and compliance, to support a safer, more coordinated delivery of care .

  • Consistent, enterprise-wide POCUS pathways that promote standardization.
  • Comprehensive oversight through QA, competency review, and credentialing tools.
  • Clear distinction between diagnostic and educational POCUS workflows.
  • Enhanced clinical and compliance visibility across departments.
  • Accurate documentation and compliant revenue capture when applicable*
    *USA only.
