A coordinated approach to home infusion care.
Home intensive care can now be delivered in the patient's home. The growth of this clinical setting has been attributed to aging, an increase in technology, and national reimbursement patterns. Institutional nurses must anticipate and meet the patient's need for education and training specific to the therapeutic treatment to be provided at home, especially in the case of the acutely ill patient requiring home infusion therapy. Thus our technologically advanced system demands a coordinated approach.
