The purpose of the study is to implement point of care ultrasound (POCUS) to generate preliminary, or pilot, data to support a full future POCUS study across multiple Corewell Health outpatient rural facilities. The study aims to demonstrate feasibility of the procedure utilizing input from the patient, provider, and the clinic staff. Preliminary data will also be used to estimate the magnitude of effect in estimating sample size and power in participants who receive the POCUS procedure versus those who continue with standard of care.
