Home infusion roundtable discussion
Extract:
“Pharmacy leaders gathered virtually July 12 to learn about strategies for success from colleagues whose organizations have established robust home infusion programs—a service line that’s increasingly important for the profession.
Approximately 60 people attended Home Infusion: Strategies for Establishing and Evaluating Pharmacy Services—the second in ASHP’s ongoing series of roundtables on the topic. The event featured a presentation from Thomas Brown, director of health ventures for Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals in Philadelphia, PA.
A third roundtable is planned for this fall. Each session is an opportunity for pharmacy leaders at multihospital organizations, in conjunction with ASHP’s pharmacy practice leaders and specialty pharmacy practitioner sections, to network about establishing and optimizing home infusion services.
Global Market Insights valued the US home infusion therapy market at more than $11 billion last year and predicted that the value will exceed $29 billion in 2032. Other market research organizations similarly predict strong growth in home infusion services, driven by factors that include disease trends and the need to reduce healthcare costs.”
