Author Description

Clinical Competency Validation Program (CCVP) is ideal for any clinician seeking to validate his or her infusion nursing skills in both acute care and alternate settings of the healthcare continuum. It is an accurate tool for evaluating infusion-related skills, and for performance improvement processes. These tools can be used by Nursing Education, Staff Development, and Infusion Teams to validate competencies upon completion of a course or annual updates. This is not a self-directed continuing education course. The updated CCVP is available on a CD-ROM and is separated into 5 sections that contain 33 specific nursing competencies: Nonvascular, Peripheral-short, and Midline procedures, CVAD procedures, Care and Maintenance, and Infusion-related procedures. The individual forms can be copied and taken to the bedside for procedural skill validation. For this revised edition, INS permits the reproduction of all material in the CCVP CD-ROM as many times as necessary to meet the needs of the staff in your facility.
