What is specialty infusion therapy?
“Specialty infusion therapy” is a term in use when “specialty” infusion medications are administered. However, it also is used to reflect the highly specialized services and level of care that an infusion pharmacy provides to its infusion therapy patients. While there are some infusion pharmacy organizations that focus on providing a limited set of specialty infusion therapies, others provide the wide spectrum of traditional and specialty infusion therapies. The distinction, if any, between the meaning of “specialty infusion therapy” and “infusion therapy” is related to the context of their use.
