At Coram, we have skilled clinical teams that specialize in the treatment of patients that require long-term or complex anti-infective therapies with excellent outcomes.  In 2005, 25,000 Coram patients received IV antibiotics safely and effectively at home.   With a referral to Coram, anti-infective patients can leave the hospital sooner, or completely avoid hospitalization.

Patients with complex and long-term anti-infective therapies need close clinical monitoring by experienced clinicians to achieve positive outcomes.  With Coram's Primary Case Management Model, a team is assigned to each patient that includes a registered nurse, pharmacist, dietitian, and patient representative. The Coram team works closely with a patient's physician to ensure the best quality of care.

Patients and their family members can easily learn to administer home IV antibiotics with training from skilled home infusion registered nurses.  Coram provides one-on-one training and easy to follow written educational materials.

Benefits of home infusion of IV antibiotics with Coram include:

• Hospital avoidance and positive outcomes
• Multiple drug therapies managed by experienced clinicians in the home
• First dosing protocols in the home
• PICC line and IV access management
• Therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacokinetic drug dosing
• Trended lab results
