Memorial Hermann to Offer Home Infusion Therapy for Patients with Chronic Conditions
Memorial Hermann Health System, a nonprofit health system committed to creating healthier Houston communities, has established a services agreement with KabaFusion to provide home infusion therapy for patients with chronic conditions and for those who need intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment. Home infusion therapy allows a patient to receive intravenous medication in the convenience of their home instead of having to travel to the hospital.
Memorial Hermann currently provides short-term home infusion therapy services. KabaFusion will help Memorial Hermann Home Infusion Pharmacy expand their services and continuity of care to patients with chronic conditions in need of treatments over a longer period.
“We are always looking for new ways to advance the patient experience and improve health care for our patients,” said Binita Patel, PharmD, MS, CPEL, vice president of pharmacy services for Memorial Hermann. “This is the first time we have worked with a home infusion platform, and we believe working with KabaFusion will allow patients to receive personalized, compassionate care without having to leave the comfort of their homes.”
KabaFusion, founded in 2010, offers specialty infusion pharmacy services as well as home nursing support for a wide range of infusion therapies prescribed by physicians specializing in neurology, immunology, oncology, pain management, infectious disease, cardiology, dermatology and nutrition.
“We are excited to partner with Memorial Hermann in providing high quality, in-home care to the patients that need it most,” said Dr. Sohail Masood, Founder and CEO of KabaFusion. “Every step KabaFusion takes in providing patient-focused care to new markets and greater segments of the population is a step towards an increased number of positive clinical and patient outcomes.”
