I recently noticed at a major medical center in Florida that Radiology Techs are going to patients' bedsides and performing PICC insertions.  It was my understanding that the Techs placed PICC in the Radiology Department with an Interventional Radiologist present. Has their role and practice changed?Â

Do you know if Florida State reglatory board particularly addresses radiology techs placing PICC outside the department? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
