Abstract
This study aims to establish precise quality indicators for evaluating and enhancing ultrasound performance, employing a methodology based on a comprehensive review of the literature, expert insights, and practical application experiences. We conducted a thorough review of both the domestic and international literature on ultrasound quality control to identify potential indicators. A dedicated team was formed to oversee the complete indicator development process. Utilizing a three-round modified Delphi method, we sought expert opinions through personalized email correspondence. Subsequently, data from diverse hospital indicators were collected to validate and assess feasibility. A novel set of seven indicators was compiled initially, followed by the convening of a 36-member nationally representative expert panel. After three rounds of meticulous revisions, consensus was reached on 13 indicators across three domains. These finalized indicators underwent application in various hospital settings, demonstrating their initial validity and feasibility. The development of thirteen ultrasound quality indicators represents a significant milestone in evaluating ultrasound performance. These indicators empower hospitals to monitor changes in quality effectively, fostering efficient quality management practices.
