CARY, N.C. - The Accreditation Commission for Health Care has launched a Home Infusion Therapy Accreditation Program. The new program looks at education assessment, medication review and the development of a plan of care provided by a nurse or healthcare professional during a home visit. Standards are similar to those for ACHC's infusion nursing and private duty infusion nursing services. "ACHC is dedicated to ensuring the highest-quality patient care as demands for home infusion therapy services continue to grow," said Susan Mills, ACHC associate clinical director. "Our standards were designed to meet new accreditation requirements while preserving the value of home infusion therapy services and helping providers enhance the quality of services they provide." Per the 21st Century Cures Act, home infusion suppliers must be accredited to receive Medicare reimbursement.
