I understand the INS, AVA, the kidnsy foundation, and the association of intervenional nephrologists have positions on placing PICC's in pts with GFR's under 60. Can anyone tell me if the Joint Commission has voiced an opinion?

No I have not seen this from TJC but also have not seen them get that specific about clinical decisions on anything. Lynn
