We want you to apply!Job Summary and QualificationsThe Vascular Access Team (VAT) RN applies advanced knowledge of the vascular system, vascular access devices (VADs), and VAD insertion techniques to establish intravenous access for pediatric and adult patients.Responsibilities:The VAT RN critically assesses each patient’s medical history, present health status, and proposed course of treatment to ensure the appropriate VAD is selected. When selection questions arise, the VAT RN works collaboratively with ordering providers to clarify vascular access needs. Prior to VAD placement, the VAT RN performs a physical examination of the insertion site. The VAT RN utilizes expert-level vascular ultrasound/sonography skills and aseptic or sterile techniques to insert VADs at the bedside or in procedural areas. During insertion of advanced lines such as peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs), the VAT RN monitors the patient’s electrocardiograph readings for signs of device malposition or procedure intolerance. As applicable following device placement, the VAT RN selects the appropriate method of imaging to verify tip placement, interprets imaging results in compliance with the VAT RN scope of practice, and issues nursing orders for line use. The VAT RN also provides consultation services for malfunctioning VADs, as well as VAD use and maintenance education to staff and patients.All insertion and troubleshooting activities are documented by the VAT RN per the organization’s policies and procedures. The VAT RN also enters charges in the hospital’s documentation system to ensure appropriate billing of devices and VAT procedures.The VAT RN is responsible for VAD-related core measures affecting quality, patient safety, and reimbursement, including Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSIs). In the event a CLABSI develops following VAD insertion by the VAT, the VAT RN collaborates with Infection Prevention for event analysis and corrective actions.Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center and Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children expects our iCARE behavioral standards to be reflected in the way every employee interacts with co-workers, providers, patients & family members, and with others in the community.
