Today’s Nurse Clinicians in Action story highlights a Hospital at Home – Difficult IV Access patient who needed vascular access for labs, but their depleted veins resulted in difficult vascular access and nearly a dozen painful and unsuccessful attempts.
Vascular access is a critical component in the delivery of acute-level care, whether for in-Hospital or Hospital at Home patients. As a current partner for Hospital at Home programs, we understand that we are an extension of your hospital’s valued brand. We typically perform procedures the same day and we take ample time with the patient, which results in increased patient and family satisfaction with their care teams and facilities.

Nurse Clinicians in Action Patient Case:
Hospital at Home – Difficult IV Access
The Hospital at Home program is one of the newest care concepts and enables eligible patients to receive inpatient acute-level care in their home rather than in the hospital. This model, for qualified patients, has been shown to improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, speed recovery, and improve patient’s overall experience.
Vascular Wellness regularly performs both standard and advanced vascular access procedures in many community, rural, and satellite hospitals in addition to larger, acute care facilities. This makes for an easy transition to choose Vascular Wellness as the primary and preferred vascular access provider in Hospital at Home programs.
