Home infusion therapy is rapidly growing, but venous access device use in home care is not well understood. This study provides initial data comparing device use in adults and children across different home care providers.

Area of Science:

  • Home Healthcare
  • Vascular Access Devices
  • Infusion Therapy

Background:

  • Home infusion therapy represents a significant and expanding sector of home care services.
  • There is a notable lack of comprehensive data regarding the specific utilization patterns of various venous access devices within the home setting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and report on the utilization of different venous access devices in home infusion therapy.
  • To compare device utilization between adult and pediatric patient populations.
  • To analyze variations in device use among different types of home care providers.

Main Methods:

  • Data collected from 37 hospital-based, community-based, and home infusion pharmacy agencies nationwide.
  • Analysis of venous access device utilization data for adult and pediatric patients.
