NHIA develops practical, clinician-informed tools to support safe, consistent care across home and alternate site infusion. These resources reflect current practice, member expertise, and the realities of a rapidly evolving care environment. When product availability or supply chain conditions disrupt care, NHIA may publish targeted, time-sensitive clinical guidance to help providers conserve resources and maintain continuity of care.
NHIA’s practice standards represent a consensus of professional judgment, expert opinion, and documented evidence. They provide guidance and direction to NHIA members and other audiences who affect the home infusion industry, and the patients served. Their use may help to comply with federal and state laws and regulations, meet accreditation requirements, and improve patient care. They are written to establish reasonable goals, to be progressive and challenging, yet attainable as best practices in applicable home or alternate site settings.
The preparation of compounded sterile preparations (CSPs) in compliance with federal, state, and industry standards is a core function of home infusion pharmacy practice. NHIA provides ongoing sterile compounding education via webinars, interactive education, certificate programs, and conference programming.
NHIF is committed to advancing evidence-based research that strengthens home and alternate site infusion. We actively support independent researchers—including clinicians, pharmacists, nurses, administrators, and students—by identifying priority research areas, offering practical tools, and creating meaningful opportunities to share and publish findings.
