Eighty\u2010six percent of hospitalists reported having placed a PICC solely for venous access (vs specific indications such as long\u2010term antibiotics or parenteral nutrition). Eighty\u2010two percent reported having cared for a patient who specifically requested a PICC. Only 25% of hospitalists reported examining PICCs for evidence of external problems, whereas 57% admitted to having, at least once, forgotten about the presence of a PICC. Only 9% of respondents knew that PICC tip verification was performed primarily to prevent venous thromboembolism. Finally, 42% of participants indicated that 10% to 25% of PICCs placed in their hospitals might be inappropriately placed and\/or avoidable.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>This national survey highlights several potential opportunities to improve hospitalist PICC practices.
