We are looking to see where most Vascular Access departments report to, is it predominatly to the Nursing department or to the facilitiies medical director, infection control or IR?Â
I report to Nursing Service. For some reason, I no longer remember we were placed under the Nursing Education and Research Dept. years ago and it never changed. We do have a medical director but I only consult him for problems I can't handle or to inform him of any changes/updates. We do not have IR.
All of our infusion services (pediatric and adult IV therapy, pediatric and adult infusion suites, home infusion) report to the director of pharmacy. We have a "dotted line" to the nursing services.

Would just like to add caveat that it in some states it is not acceptable for a non-nursing supervisor to supervise a nurse in a clinical role.

We report to Nursing Directors. We are currently working closely with Infection Control, but not reporting to them.
