The aim of this research was to analyse the cost-effectiveness of care provided to patients in need of peripheral venous access by comparing the traditional approach with a nurse-based ultrasound-guided programme. Results show that the evaluation conducted by nurses ensures the right choice of catheter for each patient based on the patient’s needs, which decreases costs. The programme also shortens the waiting period between consultation and insertion of the catheter, which reduces costs related to prolonged hospitalisation. The nurse-based programme puts nurses’ skills to good use as part of a new practice and helps enhance the efficiency of care and services provided to patients.

This paper presents the results from a systematic review of the international evidence on the costs, resource use and cost-effectiveness of Clinical Nurse Specialist-led interventions for patients with palliative care needs, defined as seriously ill patients and those with advanced disease or frailty who are unlikely to be cured, recover or stabilize. It concludes that Clinical Nurse Specialist interventions may be effective in reducing specific resource use such as hospitalizations/re-hospitalizations/admissions, length of stay and health care costs. There is mixed evidence regarding their cost-effectiveness.
