About This Event
Peripheral IV insertion and blood collection are two of the most common inpatient procedures in US hospitals that touch almost every patient every day. Current practices are often accepted as the norm. The hidden cost, clinical quality, and patient experience impacts may be under appreciated and the possibility of a better standard of care may not be envisioned. Can we challenge the status quo and transform clinical practice? Is there an opportunity to achieve the vision of a ‘one stick hospital stay’- the right IV placed correctly on the first attempt that lasts for the duration of care and can be used for both infusion therapy and blood draws? What does it take to overcome the status quo and implement change? The ability to drive sustainable change is critical to advancing clinical practice. But change requires strong leadership and a disciplined and creative approach that balances the need of nurse engagement with demanding workloads and a primary focus on direct patient care.
