A middleware\u2010based ED\u2010US image workflow solution was installed at Nepean Hospital ED in October 2021. We describe our implementation and 4\u2010year experience with a dedicated ED\u2010US archiving solution at a tertiary Australian ED.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Single\u2010centre retrospective analysis of service implementation, technical requirements, governance, QA and operational outcomes over a 4\u2010year period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Archived 7281 ED\u2010US studies across 15 modalities between October 2021 and April 2026, with annual volume growing from 1083 (2022) to 2224 (2025). Bidirectional EMR connectivity, worklist generation, seamless DICOM image transfer, segregation of clinical from educational studies, structured reporting, interdepartmental image access, automated trainee logbooks and structured QA review are implemented. No failures occurred, and no data were lost. Costs of implementation and maintenance depend on vendor negotiation and local IT costings; the dominant recurring cost is clinician time, not software. The most challenging aspects were IT resource allocation, multivendor integration and governance workload. The automated logbook alone saves each trainee approximately 2\u2009h\/week. No medicolegal incidents were reported.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A structured ED\u2010US archive and workflow are achievable and sustainable in an Australian tertiary ED.
