Whether you're launching a new ultrasound program or improving an existing one, Acurasound provides the operational expertise to get it right. With 29,000+ women's health examinations, Advanced Practice Sonographer certification in OB/GYN, and experience consulting for hospitals, OB/GYN practices, fertility clinics, and imaging centers across Southern California, Lisa brings clinical depth that generalist consultants cannot match.
Women's Health & OB/GYN Protocol Development
Lisa's deepest expertise — with over 29,000 OB/GYN examinations and published research on endometrial cancer detection, she develops women's health protocols grounded in clinical experience, not just textbook guidelines.
- First-trimester screening protocols and nuchal translucency measurement standards
- Detailed fetal anatomy survey protocols (second trimester)
- Cervical length assessment and preterm risk evaluation
- Biophysical profile (BPP) protocols for high-risk pregnancies
- Gynecologic bleeding workup protocols (pelvic, transvaginal)
- Fertility clinic imaging protocols — follicle tracking, endometrial assessment, cycle monitoring
- Saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) procedure protocols
- Breast imaging protocols — diagnostic, screening, and US-guided procedures
General Protocol Development & Standardization
Establish consistent, evidence-based scanning protocols across all modalities for your practice.
- Abdominal, vascular, small parts, and musculoskeletal imaging protocols
- Standardize documentation and reporting templates
- Create quality benchmarks and performance metrics
- Align protocols with current AIUM Practice Parameters and ACOG guidelines
Quality Assurance Programs
Build a QA framework that ensures diagnostic accuracy and supports accreditation requirements.
- Implement image quality review processes
- Establish equipment QC testing schedules
- Develop peer review and case conference programs
- Create continuous improvement workflows
Accreditation Preparation
Navigate the accreditation process with confidence. OB/GYN and breast imaging accreditation have specific requirements — updated in 2025 by ACR, AIUM, and IAC. Acurasound tracks these changes so you don't have to.
- ACR (American College of Radiology) — obstetrical and gynecological ultrasound accreditation (revised May 2025)
- AIUM (American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine) — OB-specific accreditation track with case study requirements
- IAC (Intersocietal Accreditation Commission) — diagnostic imaging accreditation
- JCAHO/Joint Commission compliance documentation
- Case study selection and submission guidance
- Pre-inspection readiness review
Workflow & Operational Optimization
Improve throughput, reduce wait times, and maximize your ultrasound department's efficiency.
- Scheduling optimization and patient flow analysis
- Staffing models and coverage planning
- Equipment utilization assessment
- Regulatory compliance review
New Department Setup
Starting an ultrasound program from scratch? Acurasound provides end-to-end guidance — from OB/GYN practices adding in-office imaging to multi-specialty clinics expanding their services.
- Space planning and room layout consultation
- Equipment selection tailored to your clinical mix (women's health, general, vascular)
- Staff hiring criteria and credential verification
- Protocol and policy manual development
- Initial training and go-live support
Fertility Clinic Imaging Support
Fertility clinics have demanding imaging requirements — follicle tracking with tight turnaround, endometrial assessment for transfer timing, and cycle-specific protocols. Lisa has direct experience with reproductive medicine imaging from her work with fertility practices.
- Follicle monitoring protocol development and optimization
- Endometrial thickness assessment standards
- Baseline scan and cycle monitoring workflows
- Sonographer training specific to IVF/fertility imaging
- Equipment evaluation for reproductive medicine applications
