These teams are usually made up of multiple experts in vascular access and a skilled vascular access device (VAD) insertion service, guidance on best practice device selection, placement, care and maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>Carr and Moureau define, \u201cA [VAT] [a]s the grouping of healthcare professionals whose primary role is to assess, insert, manage, perform surveillance, analyse their service data and solve clinical concerns and where possible remove [VADs].\u201d<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>In this article, we will share what should be included in a successful VAT proposal and how to align the proposition with your healthcare organisation\u2019s broader vision.<\/p>\n<h2>There is a growing body of evidence showing that implementation of a VAT may reduce:<sup>2\u20134<\/sup><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Length of hospital stay<\/li>\n<li>Risk of IV complications<\/li>\n<li>Cost of IV therapy<\/li>\n<li>Time from referral to insertion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is not always easy to change current practice, but tools are available to help you to take the step to convince key stakeholders that will make a significant impact on the healthcare organisation.
