Abstract
Combining the NICU PICC insertion nurses and the VAT into a new centralized PICC team provided an opportunity for growth in both areas. NICU PICCs are now placed efficiently based on patient acuity and referral prioritization throughout the hospital. NICU and VAT physicians and nurses have developed a strong partnership for the provision of PICC services for NICU patients.
