Why This Investment Matters for Your Facility

You’ve seen the impact of failed IV attempts on your operations—frustrated patients, extended procedure times, and the costly escalation to central venous access. Inadequate training in difficult access situations often results in multiple failed attempts, increased patient discomfort, and unnecessary complications that affect your quality scores and patient satisfaction ratings.

Ultrasound guidance has revolutionized vascular access by increasing success rates and reducing complications, but mastery requires structured training and deliberate practice. This program bridges the gap between basic ultrasound use and true clinical competence, ensuring your teams can insert IVs with confidence, accuracy, and consistency across all patient populations.

User-Friendly

PICC Excellence was the education I needed and I eagerly jumped into the e-learnings. It was very user-friendly and I was able to use applications that were in each lesson. My hospital realizes the importance of evidence-based practice and standards of practice. PICC Excellence is a platform that any nurse should invest in to further their education. I’m sure glad I did!
