Healthcare organizations today face a constant balancing act: controlling costs while delivering safe, high-quality patient care. PICC lines play a critical role in treatment delivery, but when placement and maintenance aren’t handled consistently, they can lead to complications, delays, and unnecessary expense. That’s where a nursing PICC line care team makes a measurable difference.

By partnering with a specialized nursing PICC line care team, hospitals and care facilities can reduce complications, improve patient comfort, and achieve meaningful cost savings, without adding strain to existing staff. Let’s take a look at how.

What Is Nursing PICC Line Care?

PICC line care refers to specialized vascular access services provided by nurses who focus exclusively on the insertion, maintenance, monitoring, and management of PICC lines. Unlike general clinical placement models, a dedicated nursing PICC line care team follows standardized, evidence-based protocols designed to maximize success and minimize risk.

These teams integrate seamlessly with facility workflows, ensuring PICC lines are placed quickly, safely, and consistently, while also supporting patient education and long-term line management.

How Nursing PICC Line Care Improves Patient Health

Higher First-Attempt Success Rates

Patients benefit immediately from the expertise of a specialized nursing PICC line team. With a 96%+ first-attempt success rate and 99%+ overall success, patients experience fewer needle sticks, less discomfort, and reduced anxiety during placement.

Reduced Complications and Infection Risk

Consistent technique and strict adherence to evidence-based protocols help lower the risk of complications such as malposition, occlusion, and infection. Standardization across placements also supports facility-wide goals to reduce CLABSI risk and central line days.

Continuity of Care Across Settings

A nursing PICC line care team can support patients as they move from acute care hospitals to LTACHs, rehab centers, and long-term care facilities. This continuity improves compliance, builds patient trust, and reduces the likelihood of preventable complications during transitions of care.

How a Nursing PICC Line Care Team Reduces Costs

Fewer Reinsertions and Avoidable Procedures

Higher first-attempt success means fewer repeat procedures, saving on supplies, staff time, and treatment delays. Avoiding unnecessary reinsertion also reduces the downstream costs associated with complications.

Shorter Length of Stay

When PICC lines are placed efficiently and without delay, patients can begin therapy sooner. In Dynamic Access partner hospitals, this approach has contributed to an 8.4% reduction in average length of stay, directly improving throughput and bed availability.

Lower Readmissions and Better Throughput

Reliable PICC placement and maintenance help prevent issues that can lead to readmissions or extended stays. Facilities benefit from smoother patient flow and improved capacity management.
