Improving Documentation of Intravenous Cannulation in a Resource-Limited Teaching Hospital: A Two-Cycle Quality Improvement Audit
In a resource-limited setting, a structured documentation sticker, combined with staff education, achieved near-universal compliance with IV cannula documentation standards. This low-cost, scalable intervention has the potential to strengthen patient safety, accountability, and quality of care. Sustaining progress will require re-auditing, ongoing staff reinforcement, and targeted focus on maintenance documentation.
