Who Are We?


​ImprovePICC is the premier destination for the latest PICC-related research and evidence
We are a non-industry-related, multi-displinary research team at the University of Michigan. Our goal is to improve the safety of PICC use in hospitalized patients by creating, sharing and spreading ground- breaking research.  ImprovePICC is led by Dr. Vineet Chopra, Assoc. Professor of Medicine and Research Scientist at the University of Michigan and VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System.

Our research is focused on:  (a) understanding drivers of PICC use and preventing inappropriate insertion; (b) developing statistical models that predict PICC complications; and (c), designing and implementing interventions to prevent adverse events such as occlusion, thromboembolism and infection. We work closely with a number of key partners to achieve these goals.

Our Mission

We will create, share and spread the latest PICC research to improve patient care and outcomes
