Using our integrated insourcing model EQS works with healthcare organisations in order to increase echo capacity and improve quality.

​

EQS provides fully accredited (British Society of Echocardiography [BSE], European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging [EACVI] or equivalent) echocardiographers to perform echocardiograms (standard transthoracic, contrast, stress and trans oesophageal) in accordance with BSE minimum dataset and reported as per host departmental protocols using agreed departmental templates. All clinical personnel will adhere to all the host healthcare organisation's  policies and procedures (e.g. infection control, information governance, escalation, chaperone etc.) when working within the department of echocardiography/cardiac diagnostics.

 

Clinical oversight and structured governance is provided by a senior cardiologist with expertise in echocardiography. As a minimum 10% of the studies performed by each echocardiographer will undergo senior re-reporting and be graded according to our standard quality assurance framework (see policy document Quality Assurance). The outcomes of all quality assurance is shared with the host healthcare organisation in a format agreed by both the organisation and EQS.
