Use of Point-of-Care Ultrasonography in Primary Care to Redress Health Inequities

Michael Tanael, MD

Section: Special Communication

The expanded capabilities point-of-care ultrasonography provides outpatient generalists—to screen, diagnosis, and safely perform procedures—allows them to redress health inequities through delivery of care that circumvents the economic, social educational, healthcare, and environmental conditions that produce these unjust demographic differences in health outcomes. The body of evidence supporting point-of-care ultrasonography in primary care remains small but promising, and scarcity of data—especially on health outcomes—plagues many proposals to improve health equity, not just point-of-care ultrasonography. The potential for point-of-care ultrasonography to provide a means for primary care clinicians to redress health inequities should bolster an already growing enthusiasm for the technology and motivate its study, its integration into family medicine training programs, and its uptake by practicing clinicians.
