Vascular Access Consulting

Card Vascular will assess your nurses' level of competency against the basic vascular access skills, perform a gap analysis to identify areas of weakness and tailor a training program to ensure all nurses are at an acceptable level of knowledge for vascular access according to AVA, CDC and INS standards. Our vascular access consulting includes documented sign offs with an annual review and sign off.  

At Card Vascular we know what it takes to create sustainable and scalable vascular programs that will work in the smallest to the largest health care systems in the country. Our Cornerstone Program is the basis for a strong vascular program no matter the size of your organization. Our experts will assess the maturity level of your program and identify key nurses to be trained as vascular access specialists to become mentoring and training resources for both staff and patients.

Card Vascular consultants will review the policies that you currently have in place and compare them to national standards and industry best practices for vascular access and infection prevention. Our experts will provide recommendations for all vascular related policies and procedures to match AVA, CDC and INS standards.

Breach of sterile technique and improper maintenance of already inserted lines can lead to hospital acquired infections. These infections not only affect patients' overall health and wellness but are not reimbursed by insurance companies. This can directly affect the bottom line of the organization.  

Card Vascular adheres to AVA, CDC and INS standards for sterile technique that guarantees 99.9% infection free vascular access insertions. In addition, education of staff, patients and families ensure that ongoing proper maintenance of the lines will aid in infection prevention and reduced complications.
