Re: PICC Line Placement

I would like to read that article.  Please provide me with the link or author/title.  Thanks! I know some hospitals are having RRT's assess the pt's need for a PICC.  It's a billing issue.??  I think it should remain a nursing assessment personnally. 
Jane

Subject: PICC Line Placement



I just read an interesting article describing a hospital that has the RRTs placing PICC lines. Do any of you use RRTs to place PICC lines? If so, what steps did you take to start the program?
Thanks.
