NHIA members are involved in all aspects of the home and alternate site infusion industry, taking on a wide array of roles, but the bond that ties them together is their dedication to ensuring that patients receive high-quality care in the setting they most prefer, enabling them to lead healthy, independent lives. We are excited for you to get to know who our members are, what they do to support this incredible industry, and learn what it is like working in home infusion.
The technology involved in patient care and delivery, as well as the medications have changed since I first started. This includes how we deliver medications to home and ambulatory patients in suites. The regulations, accreditation, and greater government oversight has added to the complexity of furnishing high quality patient care. We have moved from being suppliers to being outcome-focused and data driven to deliver value and a greater quality of life for patients that require our services.
Working with patients of different backgrounds and meeting their needs has been the true benefit of my career. I'm a clinician at heart, so making a difference for a patient is what matters most.
Knowing that I’m only a few clicks away from accessing the educational resources housed on NHIA’s comprehensive website or an email away from receiving answers/feedback to a question from an NHIA Team member is a great source of comfort and feeling of community which makes my day to day tasks that much easier.
NHIA has been an invaluable guiding force throughout my career, providing support and guidance as the industry evolved from its early stages to its current state today. The resources, knowledge-sharing, and networking opportunities offered by NHIA have been instrumental in shaping my path to success.
I got involved with NHIA early in my career and have been surrounded by so many home infusion professionals that I have learned from over the years. The connections I have made and relationships I have built through NHIA have been invaluable to me as I have navigated my career in home infusion.
I hope to bring awareness to the importance of the role of the pharmacist in home infusion. My role is in helping pharmacists identify interventions in clinical care and the impact of those interventions whether they have implications in cost of care or patient outcomes. Understanding and documenting interventions in patient care can help to identify opportunities for patient education, dosing adjustments and medication management, all leading to better patient outcomes.
As an individual who has been involved in the home infusion profession from the beginning, I am driven by the dedication and passion of the professionals in this field who are committed to providing the best care possible to our patients. Being a part of this community has felt like being part of a family, where everyone is focused on helping patients return to their normal lives as quickly as possible.
