title: Managing change while maintaining quality in home infusion therapy.
abstract: With the multiple external forces dictating rule and regulatory, third party payer/reimbursement, and accreditation changes for the home infusion industry, identifying methods for managing the changes while maintaining quality in patient and organization outcomes has become essential. The challenge for the home infusion manager, nurse, pharmacist, and other healthcare professionals is to effectively anticipate, measure, monitor, and manage changes for the operations and clinical aspects of service.
