Below is a question from a colleague working on a Leadership research project
Thanks in advance
Please reference any published articles reporting the specific financial
impact to hospitals when the timely insertion of the appropriate
IV access is delayed? (cost issues related to safety--bed flow--delay of care etc.)
and please include any article that references the average number of
days from admission to CVC insertion
That is easy. Janie Santolucito published two studies in 2001 & 2005? Tohat provided impact of CVC/PICC orders. Also Kathy Kokotis in her Coat Effectiveness article provides a wealth of information on the subject. Others such as Cardella provide economics of IR placement.
Hope this is helpful.

Can you tell I responded from my Blackberry on that last post, really guys, my spelling is much better! I do know how to spell Jamie Santolucito. Since Kathy lives in Chicago she could publish on the effectiveness of coats! Email me directly, Robbin and I will give you any articles that apply. Nancy
