Notice of Release of Japanese Translation of I-DECIDED

I-DECIDED is a device evaluation and decision-making tool developed by the Alliance for Vascular Access Teaching and Research (AVATAR) Group and others based at Griffith University in Australia. It helps nurses and other members of the healthcare team perform structured daily assessments of vascular access devices such as peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICCs) and peripheral venous catheters and determine appropriate management, such as continued use, replacement, or removal.

We have prepared a Japanese translation for the first time in Japan. We hope that you will make use of this information to improve the quality and safety of patient care in your clinical practice. The Japanese version is available in three versions: an all-device (general-purpose) version, a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) version, and a PICC version, which can be used for different purposes.
