WINFOCUS Vision & Mission
The World Interactive Network Focused On Critical UltraSound (WINFOCUS) is the world leader scientific network committed to develop Point-of-Care Ultrasound practice, research, education, technology, and networking, addressing the needs of patients, institutions, services, and communities living in out-of-hospital and in-hospital critical scenarios. Our goals:
- To identify critical scenarios where ultrasound, when implemented and incorporated into point-of-care, represents a critical added value to improve management, performance and outcomes;
- To identify ultrasound “point-of-care” applications within extra-hospital and in-hospital scenarios, consistent with prevention, triage, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of the critical patient;
- To identify the technical, clinical, organizational, and social competencies necessary for effective incorporation and diffusion of “point-of-care” ultrasound into critical scenarios, the methodology, technology, and instrumentation necessary for its implementation, and the feasibility, sustainability, and accuracy of the identified technologies;
- To evaluate and compare the experiences of different investigators through networking actions;
- To develop research projects and conferences;
- To promote quality assured training programs, incorporating them, where appropriate, into school and university curricula.

RESCUE
The RESearch in Critical Ultrasound and Echocardiography (RESCUE) development plan is based on two initiatives: the UltraSound Evidence-Based Medicine (USEBM) group, designed to promote critical ultrasound research projects; and the International Liasion on Critical Echocardiography and UltraSound (ILCEUS), designed to develop International recommendations and guidelines for point-of-care critical ultrasound education, clinical practice, and technology development.
GLOBUS
The GLOBUS (Global UltraSound) world initiative aims to make essential cost-effective primary ultrasound available worldwide throughout all the communities leaving in remote and scarce-resource scenarios, consistently to the Primary Health Care concept developed by the Alma Ata Declaration and the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
