If you need infusion medications, but don’t need to be in the hospital, Banner Health’s home infusion therapy program allows you the freedom and convenience to receive health care services in the comfort of your own home. Our goal is to help you achieve the best health outcomes possible while preserving your independence by alleviating trips to the doctor or stays in the hospital.
Sometimes oral medications are not effective enough for patients with a serious infection or a specialized condition. In these cases, infusion therapy, which is the administration of medications through a needle or catheter, is needed. Often patients need infusion therapy for many weeks, but don’t need to be in a hospital. Home infusion therapy (HIT) allows patients to receive treatment at home from a trained health care professional.
As part of our large health care network, patients in our home health infusion program work with a collaborative team of health professionals dedicated to providing comprehensive, individualized treatment. Our pharmacists, home care nurses, dietitians and support staff work together to quickly and accurately assess, communicate and adjust to ensure patients receive effective home infusion therapy.
Banner Health’s home infusion pharmacists and nurses work together to develop an individualized treatment plan to provide the best outcomes and expert care.
