1. Patient Advocacy in Infusion Safety
Patients who are actively informed and engaged in their medical care experience significantly fewer preventable adverse drug events. When receiving intravenous medications—whether in an outpatient infusion suite or at home—patients possess a unique perspective on real-time symptoms, sensations, and physical site changes that clinicians cannot feel.
Our Patient Resources pillar provides plain-language, clinically verified decision aids adapted from World Health Organization (WHO), ISMP, and INS safety guidelines to empower patients to speak up and verify critical safety checkpoints before and during therapy.
