title: Act now to improve your ultrasound program.
abstract: Emergency department ultrasound programs may be shut down if an effective quality assurance program is not in place. Videotape every exam so it can be reviewed later. Obtain confirmatory tests if you're unsure of results. Have a dedicated person responsible for quality assurance.
