Does the work incorporate equity?
This project incorporates equity because we were screening all patients that required PIV placement. This does not impose a bias toward gender, race, sexuality, etc. In addition this scale was developed specifically for the adult patient, which is the population that is seen in IV Therapy. It is a wholistic, standardized approach to care to ensure that all patients are individually assessed to determine if they might need central line placement. This has become an established routine workflow to support equitable care.
Does this work address any of the UChicago Medicine quality priorities as listed on the Clinical Excellence Scorecard?
