What Is Home Infusion Therapy?

What Is Home Infusion Therapy? Home infusion therapy is the process of giving medications, fluids, or nutrients directly into a patient’s vein through an intravenous (IV) line — all from the comfort and convenience of their home. This type of therapy allows patients to receive hospital-quality treatment without long hospital stays, reducing healthcare costs and improving quality of life. Home infusion therapy is always administered and monitored by a licensed nurse to ensure safety, accuracy, and comfort. Conditions That May Require Home Infusion Therapy Home infusion therapy is often recommended for patients who need ongoing IV treatments for certain conditions, such as: Infections: IV antibiotics for serious bacterial infections Chemotherapy: Cancer treatments prescribed by a physician Nutrition support: Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) for patients unable to eat normally Immunoglobulin therapy (IVIG): For immune system disorders Pain management: Continuous or intermittent pain relief infusions Hydration: IV fluids for dehydration or post-surgery recovery.

How the Home Infusion Process Works

Each home infusion plan is customized based on the doctor’s prescription and patient’s needs. The process generally includes: Nurse Assessment – A nurse evaluates the patient’s health and home environment to ensure safe administration. Prescription Orders – The prescribing physician determines the medication, dosage, and frequency. Preparation and Delivery of Medications – A specialty pharmacy prepares the medication and delivers it under proper temperature and handling guidelines. Administration by Nurse – A trained infusion nurse administers the medication and monitors the patient throughout the treatment. Monitoring of Treatment Progress – Nurses track progress, report to the physician, and adjust the plan as needed. Why Choose Home Infusion? Comfort: Receive care in a familiar environment. Safety: Supervised by skilled infusion nurses. Convenience: Fewer hospital visits, more independence.
