Boosting Diagnostic Accuracy and
Operational Efficiency with Butterfly
Network’s Enterprise Ultrasound Solution
The clinical and economic value of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is well-documented, with numerous studies showcasing its impact on improving clinical outcomes, enhancing efficiency, and driving cost savings. The benefit of POCUS to modern medicine is no longer a hypothesis—care improves when POCUS is used.
Across the nation, medical schools and residency programs have acknowledged the importance of POCUS, embedding it as a vital element in their training curricula. This movement reflects the strong consensus and extensive evidence that POCUS is now a fundamental tool in modern medical practice, making clinician training and adoption essential. However, challenges such as cost, limited device availability, integration infrastructure, and governance have impeded broader adoption.
In early 2021, the University of Rochester Medical Center partnered with Butterfly Network to deploy a system-wide ultrasound program aimed at improving patients’ access to imaging, streamlining physician workflows, and optimizing revenue capture. This case study describes the implementation and demonstrates that deploying affordable, portable POCUS devices like Butterfly, combined with integrated, device-agnostic software, is both practical and cost-effective. At a time when healthcare margins are thin and efficient care models are essential, URMC has harnessed the power of POCUS to effectively meet these challenges. Read more on their approach, which serves as a compelling blueprint for other institutions to follow, ushering in a new era where the promise of POCUS is fully realized across all specialties and care settings.
