Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Managed Care
  • Home Healthcare

Background:

  • Traditional home infusion therapy models faced limitations in medical quality management and cost control.
  • Increasing patient acuity and the shift towards non-hospital services necessitated new healthcare delivery models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation of a managed care model for home infusion therapies.
  • To address the limitations of traditional models in quality management and cost.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a managed care model at the University of Minnesota Medical School and Hospital.
  • Emphasis on physician-based case management, total quality management, and a point-of-contact medical information system.
  • Integration of outcomes assessment, management, research, and education.
