I am a Rad RN and also have questions about protocols for contrast administration for CT and Medication Reconciliation. Has anyone been working on this and do you have any ideas you would be willing to share? We are just in the beginning phase of writing new policy and procedure on this in Radiology. (doing med list review) mostly involving outpatient scans, pharmacy involvment????? Thanks for any help!!!:smilecoffeecup:

Hi, I am new to this site, I am a Registered Nurse that works in Special Procedures in a 350 plus bed hospital, our hospital has an IV therapy team that places mostly hep locks, and our IR's place most of the PICC lines, we are trying to turn that around and purchase a ultrasound for the IV team to use. I am also looking for some advice and or help in finding out if anyone out there has an assessment tool that identifies appropriate vascular access device upon patient admission to the hospital. I would greatly appreciate any help or reply on this subject. Thanks!
