Adult IV Safety Coalition
The Adult IV Safety Coalition brings together clinicians, healthcare leaders, and patient advocates to strengthen expertise in IV therapy, vascular access safety, and harm prevention. These sessions emphasize practical, evidence-based strategies to reduce infiltration and extravasation injuries in adults, providing actionable insights that can be quickly applied within your organization. Through sharing best practices, standardizing protocols, and encouraging collaboration across care settings, the coalition supports teams in enhancing the quality and safety of adult patient care.
