    A hospital pharmacy developed a home intravenous antimicrobial therapy program, standardizing patient teaching across departments. Most discharged patients successfully administered their own medications, highlighting the program

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Healthcare Management
    • Patient Education

    Background:

    • Home intravenous (i.v.) antimicrobial therapy programs require standardized patient education.
    • Effective patient teaching is crucial for successful home-based treatment.
    • Multidisciplinary collaboration is essential for developing comprehensive home therapy programs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the development of a home i.v. antimicrobial therapy program.
    • To outline standardized patient teaching procedures for home antimicrobial therapy.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of a hospital-based home i.v. antimicrobial program.

    Main Methods:

    • A 940-bed teaching hospital's pharmacy department collaborated with four other departments.
    • Standardized teaching methods were developed for a home i.v. antimicrobial therapy program.

  • A home antimicrobial therapy manual was created, with contributions from pharmacy and nursing.

    • Main Results:

    • Over 16 months, 37 patients received i.v. antimicrobial therapy upon hospital discharge.
    • The majority of patients or their caregivers demonstrated proficiency in preparing and administering medications.
    • The pharmacy department provided post-discharge services including medication supply, pharmacokinetic dosing, and patient support.

    Conclusions:

    • Hospitals offering home i.v. antimicrobial therapy should foster interdepartmental coordination.
    • Standardized patient-teaching methods are vital for the success of home antimicrobial therapy programs.
    • Effective program development requires collaboration among pharmacy, nursing, and other relevant departments.
