IV Ensure in Patients Receiving OPAT
IV Ensure
Summary
The purpose of remote therapeutic monitoring is to provide oversight and evaluation of patients receiving IV medications in the home setting post-acute. The goal is to improve patient outcomes and decrease re-admission rates for related diagnoses due to poor adherence. Remote therapeutic monitoring provides data used in the determination of dates, times, and duration of doses administered in the home setting to support real-time intervention by dedicated care managers to support improved adherence with prescribed dosing regiments. The objectives of the study are to: 1. Determine adherence rates for IV medications administered in the home. 2. Assess re-admission against adherence rates.
