Boulder Home Infusion Therapy - IV and Injections at HomeBrightStar Care Infusion Nurses are Registered Nurses (RNs) who specialize in giving medicine and fluids to patients through injection or infusion at home. They require additional training and knowledge of the techniques to perform and monitor an infusion, including the equipment and the often highly specialized medications they infuse. They monitor patients for their reaction to the medication being administered, manage their tubing and pumps, maintain arterial catheters, and stay aware of potential drug complications. Infusion Nurses work in many locations, including hospitals, long-term care centers, clinics, and home health agencies.  The aging of America, the advance of new medical technologies, and the focus on reducing costs are fueling the demand for home infusion nurses. Home infusion is now one of the most sought-after treatments at home, and home infusion therapy is expected to receive more focus as in-home health care expands. With more Americans living longer and living with chronic illnesses, their treatment therapies can be done more efficiently at home. Home health care now includes IV care for newer medications injected or infused by a specially trained professional in the privacy of a patient's home.Conditions that require an Infusion Nurse:Examples of conditions for which medication is injected or infused include certain autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, Chron's disease, multiple sclerosis, and other conditions like heart disease, liver disease, and gastrointestinal disorders.Our Infusion Registered Nurse will be responsible for providing home health clinical services in the patient's own home.
