"Patient Experience and Emergency Department Throughput in Chest Pain With vs Without Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS)"
This project will study whether the use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) during emergency department evaluations for chest pain improves patient satisfaction and helps patients spend less time in the emergency department. The findings could lead to better patient experiences and more efficient care for one of the most common reasons people visit the emergency room (ER).
