GloVANet and WoCoVA: platforms that integrate evidence and practice in vascular access.

Abstract

Vascular access globally has experienced exponential development in recent years in all aspects. The speed with which these advances have become part of clinical practice recommendations requires quick and easy communication between professionals, accessibility to impact scientific publications, updating of procedural protocols and the implementation of new models of care to guarantee the quality of health care. In a world full of social, economic and demographic challenges, initiatives that promote the integration of scientific evidence into clinical practice in a standardized manner are essential. Under this premise, the Global Vascular Access Network (GloVANet), together with the World Congress on Vascular Access (WoCoVA) seeks to establish a platform for the dissemination of knowledge, training and research in vascular access, while formalizing the role of professionals specialized in this field.
