Despite the need for training, there are currently no widely accepted multispecialty criteria to define an acceptable quality POCUS image for common POCUS applications used by clinicians. Without such criteria, discrepancies in rating POCUS image quality occur, leading to inconsistencies in training and quality assurance, which can ultimately compromise patient care and safety.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      To address this gap, the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) Point\u2010of\u2010care Ultrasound Task Force convened an expert panel of 32 national POCUS experts trained in hospital medicine (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200924), critical care (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20094), emergency medicine (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20093), radiology (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 2), and cardiology (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20091) and employed a modified\u2010Delphi approach to develop minimum image quality criteria for five common POCUS applications: heart, lungs, abdomen, lower extremity veins, and skin\/soft tissues.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After three rounds of voting and group discussion, the panel achieved consensus on a comprehensive list of 215 items to define standard image quality criteria in five different body systems.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These POCUS image quality criteria offer a structured, consensus\u2010based framework for evaluating POCUS images and establish a minimum standard for defining an acceptable quality image.
