In the hospital setting, even in hospitals that employ dedicated IV teams, the need often arises for an extra set of hands to assist in urgent specialized IV access or even a bunch of PIVCs. This may happen with an unexpected staff shortage or increased patient need and the hospital IV team may find itself overwhelmed. This causes significant delays in patient care during hours, after hours, weekends and Holidays. Instead of the long term commitment of hiring new IV-team staff or creating a team in a hospital that may not have the volume to justify a dedicated IV-team, many hospitals are turning to IV National’s reliable and quick IV hospital service to augment an existing IV-team or to provide primary IV access services. We arrive same-day, usually within hours and ensure successful IV access. Please see our benefits box “Increased Profits, Decreased Costs” for some compelling facts and numbers.
