Incentives

Encouraging in-practice physicians to add a skill to their practice can be challenging.

Incentives can help adoption of POCUS. Gaining department leadership support is a key to success. Here we list several incentive methods that have been successful in some departments.

CME

Register to have educational sessions qualify for CME credit.

MOC Part 4 Credit

Create an ultrasound related QI project. In-practice physicians who participate as part of their learning can also gain MOC credit.

Protected Time

Requires leadership buy-in. Scan shifts without other clinical responsibilities are very helpful in developing POCUS skills.
