We are looking for published reports on IV placed by staff nurses VS Vascular Access teams. We need to have a starting spot to show how a vascular access team improve the quality of patient care re how many pokes patients recieve and cost effectiveness of the Vascular access team vs staff RN starting IV's
You will not find this under a search on vascular access. Search on IV team or infusion team and there are numerous studies. I recently posted a long list of articles I used as a reference for an ongoing presentation on the topic of IV teams. Lynn
