Mobile IV ACCESS Services

Vascular Wellness nurse clinicians are Vascular Access Board Certified (VA-BC), insured, skill-verified, and salaried W2 employees, meaning that we can ensure quality, reliability, and consistent services as compared to a 1099 contractor pay per procedure model (plus, in some cases, “performance” bonuses) used by most Mobile IV Services companies. Further, it is not uncommon for Mobile IV Services companies to engage a client without having the nursing resources available and then when a service request is made, to scramble to find a new nurse who self-certifies his/her skill set, to perform the service. Finally, the pay per procedure model may create some adverse incentives for speed at the bedside versus spending the time needed to ensure the placement of the right line at the right time, the first time.

Unlike many Mobile IV Services companies, we provide holistic medical care, meaning that we talk to the patient, address questions and fears, and perform a comprehensive medical review. Prior to performing any Vascular Access procedure, the Vascular Wellness clinician reviews the patient’s medical record including history and lab reports, and independently verifies and confirms the physician’s order. If our clinician disagrees with the prescribing physician, the clinician will consult with the physician. Our clinicians have earned the trust of many physicians, and the physicians will defer to the clinician’s recommendation by ordering a “consult” as compared to ordering a specific type of vascular access device.  This deference is something that we at Vascular Wellness are very proud of and do not take lightly this responsibility.   Patient safety and vein preservation are critical – which is why a holistic, comprehensive evaluation and Advanced Lines are significant.

In states where nurses are permitted, Vascular Wellness clinicians can provide immediate X-Ray Clearance of lines when tip confirmation is not available or appropriate and X-Ray confirmation must be performed.  X-Ray Clearance is part of our training process, and for which we have specific policies, procedures, and competencies.   This saves time, money, and coordination with a Radiologist or other physician and enables the lines to be used promptly to avoid treatment delay. Quicker therapy leads to better outcomes.

Vascular Wellness uses the industry gold standard, top rated, and hospital preferred supplies from Becton Dickinson, formerly Bard (BD), that may help mitigate the potential for poor outcomes such as bad placement, infections, clotting, and other adverse events.

Vascular Wellness provides program management, policy and procedure consulting and documentation, EHR/CHR Vascular Access configuration, Vascular Access services reimbursement coding consulting and support, infection control support, and pediatric vascular access. We are the true Vascular Access Specialists, and much more than a Mobile IV Services company that may assert to be specialists.
