Instructions on how to use the Calculator
Based on the findings of the ICHE paper “Limiting the Number of Lumens in Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters to Improve Outcomes and Reduce Cost: A Simulation Study” our CLABSI cost calculator will show you the savings your hospital could expect if you implemented a single-lumen PICC only policy. This policy would focus on only placing multi-lumen PICCs if they were medically indicated.
What you need:
What you’ll get: The app will take your facility’s current PICC usage and give you the cost and event savings your facility could expect in 1 year if you increased your single lumen PICC use to 50%.
