The registered nurse's role in product purchase. The Intravenous Nurses Society
Abstract
The Intravenous Nurses Society (INS) contends that registered intravenous nurses should be involved in the purchasing decisions of vascular access devices. Because nurses are the end-users of these products, they have knowledge on the quality and reliability of intravenous therapy products. Although cost containment concerns are paramount, cost should not be the only criteria observed in making purchasing decisions.
