medication delay with home care infusions

Change Proposal Paper Student's Name Institutional Affiliation Course Code and Name Professor's Name Submission Date Home-based infusion therapy is a new healthcare model that lets complex medical patients obtain specialist treatments at home. As this novel technique develops popularity, it presents issues that require careful evaluation and intentional solutions. The change proposal emphasizes cultural competency, technology integration, and quality improvement to improve nursing care during adult home-based infusion therapy. Home-based infusion therapy is complex and requires a complete plan that integrates nursing practices with patient-centered care, promotes technical improvements, and establishes a framework for continuous improvement. This paper examines the clinical problem, suggested change, literature supporting the initiative, and a detailed implementation and assessment strategy using evidence-based approaches to improve patient care in the changing healthcare landscape. Background of Clinical Problem Patient-centered home-based infusion therapy delivers sophisticated medical treatments in patients' homes. This method allows people with lysosomal storage disorders, multiple sclerosis, and chronic intestinal failure to obtain infusion therapies without hospital stays. Home-based infusion therapy has many benefits, including enhanced autonomy and lower healthcare costs, but it faces various obstacles. Cultural competency is a big issue for home-based infusion therapy nurses. Healthcare practitioners must understand and respect the varied social backgrounds of patients getting these treatments. Patient-centered treatment requires cultural competence to match patients' values, beliefs, and preferences (Lin et al., 2019; Solberg & Naden, 2019). Nurses' cultural awareness and response in the home improve patient satisfaction and treatment adherence (Liu et al., 2022). Another problem is integrating technology for communication and monitoring as home-based infusion therapy becomes increasingly common. Telehealth and remote monitoring systems are needed to improve patient-provider communication and treatment monitoring (Rosen et al., 2021). Infrastructure, accessibility, and staff training hinder technology adoption (Cawthra et al., 2022). Technology's full potential to improve patient safety and treatment outcomes requires overcoming these hurdles. Due to the dynamic nature of home-based infusion therapy, a continuous nurse quality improvement approach is necessary. Quality improvement programs reinforce learning, keeping nursing practices current with patient demands (Harvey et al., 2019). This approach is crucial as new technology and patient demographics transform healthcare delivery (Berger et al., 2020). Clinical Problem Statement The rise of home-based infusion therapy, which aims to increase patients' autonomy and quality of life, necessitates reviewing nursing care. Home-based infusion therapy offers customized care, comfort, and lower healthcare costs, but nursing interventions require careful monitoring for efficacy. Effective home-based infusion therapy relies on patient satisfaction. Patient-centered care at home requires a detailed understanding of how nursing care affects patient satisfaction, which is cr...
