The Medical College of Wisconsin implemented 3 IRCs (2.4%), 2 UAs (1.6%), and 3 AOs (2.4%). A total of a bedside procedure service (BPS) that has been trained 18 consults were declined. The BPS was consulted by 12 in the placement of PCs as an adjunct to its interventional services with 8 primary reasons for PC placement. radiology department.
