As part of ongoing efforts to educate on the prevalence of IV complications and the importance of surveillance monitoring to improve patient safety, the company will host open in-booth presentations for attendees to learn more about the economic impacts of peripheral IV infiltration/extravasation injuries.

The session, “Infiltration Impact on Quality and Cost of Care” facilitated by Susan Brown MSN, MSED, VA-BC, the chief nursing officer at ivWatch, will repeat in the company’s booth (#412) during regular exhibition hall hours on:

Thursday, April 11: 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

“Complications from peripheral IV’s have recently been addressed as a systemic issue facing health systems by the independent patient-safety organization, ECRI Institute, in their Top 10 Patient Safety Concerns for 2019 report*,” said Brown. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to speak with nursing leadership from across the country on the new advancements in vascular access, and how to harness technology to improve quality and outcomes in this area.”
