Introduction to Ontario Health’s Common Core Standards for Vascular Ultrasound in Ontario
May 6, 2025Ontario Health has released the Common Core Standards for Vascular Ultrasound in Ontario, developed through a province-wide collaboration of sonographers, radiologists, and vascular specialists. These standards aim to align with clinical best practices and set a consistent benchmark for VUS protocols, reporting, and diagnostic quality across Ontario.
All facilities are encouraged to complete a self-assessment and incorporate the outlined protocols into their practices. The document includes tools such as a Facility Checklist, Clinical Checklist, Sonographer Technical Worksheets, and Reporting Templates to support implementation.
We encourage Ontario members to review the full document and resources to support high-quality, standardized vascular ultrasound care in the province.
