Mobile PICC Services Companies
Services from Mobile PICC Services Companies typically include only Ultrasound Guided PICCs, Midlines, Extended Dwell PIVs, and PIVs (Standard Lines) and if done correctly by qualified nurses, can generally offer adequate vascular access on a transactional basis for certain patients, which is not holistic, comprehensive care and is not appropriate vascular access in complex situations, making it an incomplete bedside solution. Holistic medical care means talking to the patient, addressing questions and fears, and performing a comprehensive medical review. Prior to providing 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 doctor’s order. If our clinician disagrees with the prescribing doctor, the clinician will consult with the doctor. Our clinicians have earned the trust of many doctors, and such doctors will defer to the clinician’s recommendation by ordering a “consult” as compared to a specific line, which is not done with typical Mobile PICC Services Companies. Patient safety and vein preservation are critical – which is why a holistic, comprehensive evaluation and Advanced Lines are significant.
Advanced Lines, including Internal Jugulars, Mid-Thigh Femorals, Axillaries, Large Bore Quad Lumens, Dialysis Catheters (such as Acute/Temp Vascaths and Tunneled Permcaths), Tunneled Central Lines, and Arterial Lines allow us to obtain critical vascular access when Standard Lines may not be appropriate such as when the patient has or likely will have kidney and renal failure, has or likely will have Deep Vein Thrombosis (or DVT), or had a mastectomy. In such situations, other vascular access devices that enable vascular access provide additional tools to create safe vascular access. While Vascular Wellness excels in the placement of these Advanced Lines, very few vascular access nurse clinicians are able to even offer or provide such lines as part of their limited Mobile PICC services, making such PICC services incomplete. Over the years, we have learned that because other Mobile PICC Services Companies do not offer Advanced Lines, in certain cases, those company nurses will not do a detailed medical history review or will ignore such medical history so that they can place the line, claim success, get paid, and move to the next transaction, at the extreme frustration of the doctor knowing that the patient’s life may have been shortened by such behavior.
Additional PICC Services Company Comparison includes that 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. Our employees’ compensation is not based on speed or productivity, and our focus is on client and patient service. Mobile PICC Services Companies that rely on 1099 contractors are typically not as responsive nor provide the consistent and reliable quality that we deliver every day, including with respect to equipment and supplies as described below.
As another PICC Services Company Comparison, in states where nurses are permitted, Vascular Wellness expert clinicians can provide immediate X-ray Clearance of lines when tip confirmation is not available or appropriate and X-ray confirmation must be used. This saves money, time, and coordination with a Radiologist or other doctor and enables the lines to be used immediately to avoid delaying treatment. Quicker therapy leads to better outcomes.
PICC Services Companies Comparison
Further PICC Services Companies Comparison is around equipment and supplies. Vascular Wellness uses top rated and hospital preferred supplies from Becton Dickinson (BD), formerly Bard. Superior supplies and services help mitigate the potential for poor outcomes such as bad placement, clotting, infections, and other adverse events plus include ECG Tip Confirmation Technology often eliminating the need for X-ray confirmation of PICC Lines.
In addition, PICC Services Companies Comparison is also around program management and related services. Vascular Wellness provides policy and procedure consulting and documentation, EHR/CHR Vascular Access configuration, Vascular Access services reimbursement coding consulting and support, infection control support, pediatric vascular access, and education and training by active, experienced nurse clinicians. We are the true Vascular Access Specialists and Experts, and much more than any PICC services company claiming to be a specialist or expert.
