Clinical ultrasound (CUS) is integral to the practice of an increasing number of medical specialties. Guidelines are needed to ensure effective CUS utilization across health systems. Such guidelines should address all aspects of CUS within a hospital or health system. These include leadership, training, competency, credentialing, quality assurance and improvement, documentation, archiving, workflow, equipment, and infrastructure issues relating to communication and information technology. To meet this need, a group of CUS subject matter experts, who have been involved in institution- and/or systemwide clinical ultrasound (SWCUS) program development convened. The purpose of this paper was to create a model for SWCUS development and implementation.
临床超声（CUS）是越来越多医学专业实践的重要组成部分。需要指南来确保在整个医疗系统中有效地利用 CUS。这些指南应涵盖医院或医疗系统内 CUS 的所有方面。这些方面包括领导、培训、能力、认证、质量保证和改进、文件记录、存档、工作流程、与通信和信息技术相关的设备以及基础设施问题。为了满足这一需求，一组 CUS 主题专家聚集在一起，他们参与了机构和/或系统范围的临床超声（SWCUS）计划的开发。本文的目的是创建一个 SUCW 发展和实施的模型。
