One of the challenges that healthcare organizations face today is how to effectively establish, document, and evaluate competency in intravenous practice. The process used to define practice parameters based on national certification and credentialing versus organizational policies is described. Key attributes, the role of mentoring, and adverse outcomes are addressed.
