This pilot study compared community parenteral therapy models, finding patient preference for home care and potential cost savings. Healthcare professionals also supported community-based parenteral therapies.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Nursing Practice
  • Community Health

Background:

  • Parenteral therapy delivery models in community settings require evaluation.
  • High-quality care provision is essential for patients receiving parenteral therapies outside hospital.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and compare service delivery models for high-quality community parenteral therapy.
  • To assess patient and healthcare provider satisfaction and cost-effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Pilot study involving 113 patients over 12 months (January-December 1996).
  • Comparison of outreach nursing services versus contracted nursing services.
  • Data collection on patient satisfaction, carer satisfaction, and cost.

Main Results:

  • Patients and carers preferred community-based care.
  • Medical officers recognized benefits of community parenteral therapy administration.
  • General practitioners expressed interest in managing future community parenteral therapies.
  • Contracted nursing service providers supported a parenteral therapy resource center.
  • Significant potential cost savings identified with community-based care.

Conclusions:

  • Community-based parenteral therapy models are preferred by patients and carers.
  • Healthcare professionals are receptive to expanding community parenteral therapy services.
  • Community care models offer potential for substantial cost savings.
