This project’s purpose was to provide evidence-based quality IO access education, training, and policy implementation that is needed for emergency and ICU department nurses in this community hospital. This project gives clarity, directed purpose, accountability, and defined boundaries to the nurses, and it increases the likelihood of successful implementation of IOs. According to Fowler, Pierce, and Nazeer (2009), nurses have the potential to lead strategies to improve the healthcare system and improve positive patient outcomes.
