Home Infusion
The Comfort of Home
Home and specialty infusion is a vast arena of pharmaceutical services provided in the outpatient setting, typically in the patient’s home or an infusion suite. The majority of these medications involve administration through a needle or catheter, otherwise known as infusion, while others are administered via alternate routes of administration such as intramuscular, subcutaneous, epidural, and self-injectable means. Infusion medications are prescribed for both acute and chronic illnesses that cannot be effectively treated with oral medications alone.
Home infusion has been proven to be a safe and effective alternative to inpatient care for a variety of therapies and disease states, both acute and chronic. For many patients, receiving treatment at home or in an infusion suite is preferable to inpatient care. This industry is continuing to grow now and into the future as more therapies are approved and quality outcomes are seen for home infusion patients.
