Background: We have previously showed how implementing the Michigan Appropriateness Guide for Intravenous Catheters (MAGIC) to inform peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) use can lead to more appropriate device use. In this analysis, we assessed the association between appropriateness and PICC-related complications. We hypothesized that improved PICC appropriateness is associated with reduced major PICC complications […]

Hospital Medicine 2019, March 24-27, National Harbor, Md.
Background: A substantial proportion of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are placed for inappropriate indications. We performed a multi-hospital intervention to improve the appropriateness of PICC use. Methods: We conducted a collaborative cohort study of hospitals participating in the Hospital Medicine Safety Consortium. An evidence-based intervention centered on the Michigan Appropriateness Guide for Intravenous Catheters […]
