 AmerisourceBergen creates home infusion program for health systems

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. – AmerisourceBergen has launched a program to help hospitals and health systems create or optimize home infusion service lines. Each phase of AB’s solution is designed to help health systems deploy and operate a clinically-focused, sustainable home infusion program for patients that choose to receive care within a health system network, the company says. While the infusions will be handled by the health systems’ clinical teams directly, AB’s solution serves to strengthen program strategy, business operations, logistics and more. “Home-based care has been a fast-growing health care sector for many years and the COVID-19 pandemic has only accelerated the trend,” said Matt Wolf, senior vice president, Commercial Solutions at AmerisourceBergen. “Market forces are driving health systems’ interest in offering infusions in patients’ homes at an unprecedented rate, but these programs are complex to manage and require the right partners to make them successful.” The components of the program include clinical expertise and pharmacy design, drug sourcing and logistics, payer strategy and prescription capture, patient access and workflow and revenue cycle management. AB is a member of the National Home Infusion Association and its Future of Infusion Advisory Council.
