Dear All,
I am emailing to find out what procedures other institutions follow in terms of documentation for the removal of PIVCs. Our LHD policy requires the following:The removal of the PIVC must be documented in the medical record by the clinician removing the PIVC
* Date and time.
* If the PIVC was intact, whole and included tip.
* Condition of the site on removal.Do you do anything different and if so, would you be happy to share that information? Especially, how do you monitor that such documentation is occurring.
Many thanks in advance,
RitaRita Roy

Hi Rita,
At my old institution (Liverpool) we added documentation to our EMR with reminder flags when the device was due for removal/resite. rom memory, we were doing 96hr changes – this was before clinically indicated changes became popular. The reminder flag would reset for 24hrs if needed, but would continue to alert until device removed.
It was fairly concise and included the usual demographics – date, time, site removed, condition of site – allowed several comments. Did not state if device was intact however..
I may have some screen captures from our working group I can look up for you.
Just contact me directly if you would like me to follow up.
Regards,
