A dedicated peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line service: 2 Year review

Abstract

Conclusion:The high performing team (in number) had highest number of DCLCs (55%). Our readmission rates were comparable to the National Average. National Average targets for DCLC can be achieved at relatively smaller organizations like DG Hospitals provided that Cholecystectomy is considered as a Day Case procedure by default and clear criteria for patient selection are established and implemented. Aims: Accurate and complete documentation on admission to hospital is vital for communicating acute clinical information and is essential medicolegally. Structured documentation has been shown to improve doctor performance and patient outcomes. We aimed to design a surgical clerking form and evaluate its impact on documentation during this critical period.
