VASCULAR ACCESS SPECIALISTS
As Vascular Access Specialists, Vascular Wellness nurse clinicians are Vascular Access Board Certified (VA-BC), insured, skill-verified, and salaried W2 employees. Vascular Wellness requires bi-annual skill verification ensuring adherence to proprietary policies, procedures, competencies, and best practices. We focus on holistic and comprehensive care and do not follow the pay per procedure model plus performance bonuses used by others that may create some adverse incentives for speed at the bedside versus holistic medical care helping to ensure the placement of the right line at the right time, the first time. In fact, Vascular Wellness employs a Director of Research and Development who not only helps us stay up to date on best practices but helps us continue to innovate and improve upon Vascular Access Services.
Vascular Access Specialists practice holistic medical care, meaning talking to the patient, addressing questions and fears, and performing a comprehensive medical review. Prior to delivering 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 has questions or disagrees with the prescribing doctor, the clinician will consult with the doctor. Our Vascular Access Specialists 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. Patient safety and vein preservation are critical – which is why a holistic, comprehensive evaluation and Advanced Lines are significant. Other companies claiming to be Vascular Access Specialists may not follow this same approach frustrating medical doctors and nurses primarily because those 1099 Contractor PICC nurses do not place Advanced Lines (i.e, no options other than PIVs, Midlines, and PICCs) and get paid on a pay per procedure model.
In states where nurses are permitted, as Vascular Access Specialists, 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 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.
As Vascular Access Specialists, Vascular Wellness uses top rated and hospital preferred supplies from Becton Dickinson, formerly Bard (BD). Superior supplies and services help mitigate the potential for poor outcomes such as bad placement, clotting, infections, and other adverse events. Other companies that are not Vascular Access Specialists may opt for inferior supplies and older equipment.

What are Mobile Vascular Access Services?
Mobile Vascular Access Services generally consist of nurses delivering vascular access services to patients at the bedside. Unlike other companies that provide Mobile Vascular Access Services as part of a suite of mobile healthcare services or use contractors to provide the services, Vascular Wellness’ sole focus is Vascular Access. We invest in our clinicians and our infrastructure and, as a result, provide the highest quality, most reliable, and safest patient care.
Vascular Wellness is a Mobile Vascular Access Services company that hires, trains, and skill-verifies its W2 employees semi-annually. Employees must perform a minimum number of procedures as monitored by a Preceptor before being permitted to perform those procedures. Our employees are either Vascular Access Board Certified Clinicians or in the process of obtaining certification. We are able to maintain our superior service levels as we schedule our employees, and schedule redundancy across our service areas. All clinicians carry an ultrasound machine and various top-rated Bard catheter kits, and are connected via a HIPPA compliant messaging platform, so they are prepared for virtually every situation and have access to other clinicians should they wish to seek a second opinion. Our clients enjoy a 24 hour call center and access to a clinician on-call should expert advice be needed.
In addition to Ultrasound Guided Basic and Extended Dwell PIVs, Midlines and PICCs, we perform advanced procedures including Small Bore Central Catheter Lines (such as Internal Jugular Lines and Femoral Lines) and Large Bore Central Catheter Lines (such as Vas Caths for Dialysis and Quad Lumens). We place the right line at the right time, the first time, and patient care, safety, and infection control are our highest priorities. Our superior and affordable service enriches the patient experience and your brand and reputation. Please contact us and learn why many hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and other healthcare providers rely on Vascular Wellness for their Mobile Vascular Access Services needs. We are here to serve you and your patients and would love to learn how we can help and be of service.
