This was a concern given the frequency and importance of ultrasound examinations in approaching a diagnosis. Interventional measures involved ad hoc training sessions coincident with installation of updated equipment. A reaudit was performed to assess any changes in the standard of ultrasound practice.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data were collected by random direct observation. To minimize the Hawthorne effect, staffs were not made aware of when active data collection took place. Observations of both patients and end user were compared with current guidelines. Data collected maintained the anonymity of users throughout. Practice was graded as: compliant, partially\u2010compliant, or noncompliant. Descriptive statistics were used to demonstrate any change post\u2010intervention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Observations (n = 48) of completed gynecology ultrasound practice were recorded, and results described as percentage frequencies (%).
