Vascular access plus overview
Home Health Agency
Chronic Specialty Infusion Program
Manages member populations that require chronic infusions for life. Most patients have an auto-immune diseases including immune deficiencies, hemophilia, gastrointestinal diseases including Crohn’s disease, hemophilia, and myasthenia gravis, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating
Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), common variable immunodeficiency (CIVD), and myositis. Other patients require chronic infusions through intrathecal pumps. Patients who require intrathecal pump refills are those with severe pain and/or spasticity that may be a result of diseases such as Cerebral Palsy, Cancer, acute or chronic injuries, and many other life altering ailments. These patients have challenges receiving treatment in the traditional medical setting due to several facets including extreme physical discomfort, living long distances from the doctor’s office, requiring frequent refills of their pump, or having caregiver support issues. Having a nurse come to their home dramatically reduces the risk of infection and patients benefit immensely from our primary care nurse model, keeping them out of the hospital. This is important to a Health Plan, because of our 24/7 nursing staff and our collaboration with a 24/7 specialty pharmacy significantly reduces hospitalizations and emergency room visits, which in turn allows the health plans to continue to drive costs down.
Acute Specialty Infusion Program
Manages patient care for infusion patients recently discharged from the hospital requiring infusion therapy. Vascular Access Plus provides virtual teaching and follow through as well as in-home teaching for patients to self-administer their intravenous medications. The coronavirus pandemic has created a further challenge for patients to have infusion therapy initiated. Having a company with 24/7 nursing staff and specialty pharmacy support nurses dramatically reduces the risk of a worsening infection, lower morbidity and mortality and patients benefit immensely from our primary care nurse model, keeping them out of the hospital.
