Re-xraying PICCs

[Cordell, Laura]

At our facility, outpatients coming in for medication therapy through their piccs must have a location confirming CXR if the picc is not being accessed every 24 hours.  We now have a patient coming into our ambulatory care unit for medication administration every 7 days via his picc  and the nurses are not happy about getting a CXR each time.  What are the rest of you doing?
