Presentation Title
Maximizing Peripheral Vascular Access Success: Featuring Clinical Application of Evidence Using a Practice Framework

Presenter
Dr. Rob Dawson DNP, MSA, APRN, ACNP-BC, CPUI, VA-BC, Vascular Access Consultant, PICC Academy

Location
Association for Vascular Access 2014 Annual Scientific Meeting, National Harbor, MD

Purpose
This presentation provides guidance on maximizing peripheral vascular access success from all system levels. Once the patient walks in the door, application of evidence using a standard framework will provide for the least risk approach to peripheral vascular access. Guidance is given on quality improvement, assessment, planning, and device insertion. This session is the complete picture on how to implement peripheral vascular access for the least risk to the patient and achieving optimal outcomes.

Key Points
After viewing this presentation, clinicians will be able to:

Describe the five elements of the framework for vascular access practice 

Describe the systems approach to vascular access 

Describe the 45/50 Rule for Ultrasound Peripheral Vascular Access
