Abstract:
Health practitioners often insert and maintain central venous access devices (CVADs) as part of cancer care. One in four CVADs prematurely fail, which is associated with increased mortality, morbidity and a negative impact on quality of life. To support implementation of updated guidelines, eviQ Education developed a comprehensive, peer-reviewed, evidence-based CVADs eLearning package. An evaluation indicated that the eLearning supported clinicians' practice and increased knowledge and clinical competency in CVAD insertion and management.
