title: A clinical productivity management system for home infusion therapy.
abstract: Although many organizations have begun to accept the reality of cost containment in home infusion therapy, few have taken steps to cost manage their business. Even fewer home infusion providers have considered that productivity and quality will carry equal weight in the equation for providing health care and services. Organizations that address the issues of today and tomorrow's health care environment, finding a fine balance for managing productivity while providing quality care, will be those organizations that remain viable in the future.
