I too would be interested in this. PIVC insertion and device selection has been audited to be poor and staff needing education at our facility.

Subject: [ACIPC_Infexion_Connexion] Device Selection and Difficult IV Access Criteria/Pathway

Hi All,

Our IPC Team is currently reviewing our PIVC Policy and in line with the new PIVC Clinical Care Standards we want to place a big focus on pre insertion assessment, appropriate device selection and identification of difficult venous access.

We are hoping to develop some sort of inforgraphic, decision tree or flowchart for this.

I wondered if anyone else has implemented something similar at their facilities and if they would be happy to share there escalation pathways with me.

Many thanks,

Jacky

Subject: [ACIPC_Infexion_Connexion] IPC lead role requirements

Good Afternoon fellow Ips!
A few weeks ago there was some discussion in this forum about the requirements for IPC leads at Aged Care facilities had to be RN/EN.
It was mentioned that there would be recommendations to change this. You do not need to be an RN/EN to be a great IP. I have worked with many who had a science degree but not licensed practitioners who were fantastic.
We are really struggling to fill positions that have been left as our RN/EN pool is very small.
Does anyone remember the discussion or have a response?
Is this something this college would be willing to get behind as a voice to help aged care facilities with this. I believe this will be an ongoing struggle if we are tied in this way.

Thanks
Sarah
