This podcast discusses the two models of infusion services to facilitate outpatient and home health care, and the care benefits and challenges associated with therapy. A patient care goal is to enhance the care experience and best streamline infusion therapy through a modality that is most efficient, while equally safe, and less disruptive to day-to-day activities. Health-systems have developed strategies for optimizing a balance between the use of home infusion and hospital outpatient infusion services to ensure optimal patient care and financial performance. Payers implement a variety of tools that enhance care affordability based on formulary status, site of care restrictions, and medication dispensing model (i.e. brown bagging, white bagging, etc.). Proposed legislative policies and regulatory reforms that impact Medicare payments may have a key role towards infusion services through changes in the payment structure.
