Peripherally inserted central catheter program

M Crawford et al. Nurs Clin North Am. 2000 Jun.

Abstract

The peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is a safe and less costly option to centrally inserted, tunneled, or implanted central vascular access devices. Support for PICC services and reports of results vary among organizations. A comprehensive PICC Program, guided by the Center for Advanced Nursing Practice's Evidence-Based Practice Model, was designed and implemented with successful outcomes. Key program components include administrative, education, clinical practice, and data monitoring to enhance best practice.
