We are an approximately 250 bed community hospital At present, the PICC lines inserted at our facility are done by one of four individuals that comprise our PICC team That team is two Nurse Managers who were willing to take this on as an additional duty, and two RNs employed to provide Nutritional Support Services (follow all central access devises, monitor tube fed patients). We provide service M-F 08-430.
My question is, what do other facilities this size and type do to provide PICC insertion services? Do you contract to an IV company? Use Interventional Radiology? Dedicated team? Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
