Data for: Current Use and Training Needs of Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Emergency Departments in the Veterans Affairs Health Care System

We have submitted the complete dataset from the national VA Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) survey by the Office of Patient Care Services, in partnership with the National Simulation Learning Education and Research Network (SimLEARN) Center, and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Specialty Care Centers of Innovation (SCCI) to assess the current state of POCUS use and activities in acute care settings within VHA. This report is the primary method to communicate the baseline findings and drive enhancements in POCUS use, policy, and training across specialties. The web-based survey, open for response between April 7, 2016 and July 25, 2016, was sent through the Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) offices to facility Directors for completion by the Chief of Staff and each clinical service that uses POCUS. One hundred thirty-nine Chiefs of Staff and 738 Service Chiefs responded to the survey.本团队已提交由患者护理服务办公室联合国家模拟学习教育与研究网络（SimLEARN）中心、退伍军人健康管理局（VHA）专科创新护理中心（SCCI）开展的全美退伍军人管理局床旁超声（Point of Care Ultrasound, POCUS）调研的完整数据集，旨在评估VHA系统内急性护理场景中POCUS的应用现状与相关业务开展情况。本报告为本次调研基线结果的核心传播载体，旨在推动各专科在POCUS应用、政策制定与人才培训领域的优化提升。本次网络调研的应答开放周期为2016年4月7日至2016年7月25日，调研依托退伍军人综合服务网络（VISN）办公室下发至各医疗机构负责人，由医务主任及各开展POCUS业务的临床科室负责人填写完成。最终共有139名医务主任与738名临床科室负责人完成了本次调研的应答。
