Welcome to MedStar Health Home Infusion
MedStar Health Home Infusion provides sterile‑compounded IV (intravenous) therapies, parenteral nutrition, infusion pumps, and all associated supplies – delivered directly to patients’ homes. This location is not a patient-facing pharmacy and does not provide walk-in pharmacy services. Our pharmacy team works seamlessly with each patient’s provider and with MedStar Health Home Care or other home healthcare providers to initiate nursing care and infusion therapy safely in the comfort of home. We help streamline discharges from the hospital or facility, reduce avoidable hospitalizations, and support patients who can safely transition to home‑based infusion care.
Our services
- IV anti‑infective therapy (antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals)
- Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN)
- Immunoglobulin (IVIG/SCIG)
- Hydration and electrolyte replacement
- Biologic and specialty medications
- Heart failure therapies (e.g., inotropes)
- Pain management therapies when appropriate for home care
Why providers choose to refer their patients to MedStar Health Home Infusion
- Safe and reliable home‑based therapy: We prepare patient‑specific sterile medications in our cleanroom and deliver them with pumps, supplies, and clear instructions. Our pharmacists monitor therapy, labs, and tolerance, keeping the care team informed throughout the course of care.
- Efficient discharge and care coordination: Our team expedites referrals, verifies benefits, collaborates with case managers, and coordinates directly with the patient’s selected home healthcare nursing provider—whether MedStar Health nurses or an outside home health agency.
- 24/7 pharmacist support: Your patients and their nurses have around‑the‑clock access to a clinical pharmacist for urgent medication questions, side effect management, and troubleshooting.
- Integrated communication: We align with medical teams, update the care plan as needed, and communicate laboratory results, dose adjustments, and clinical concerns promptly.
