SUMMARY:R06 &#8211\; But Who is it Best For? Evaluating Multiple Infusion Care Models
DESCRIPTION:Across multiple sites of care with US Oncology\, there are a number of design considerations that come up from facility to facility that look into the infusion experience. While individual\, enclosed rooms allow for a more private experience\, it requires added space\, technology and steps for staff. On the opposite side\, open infusion rooms provide clear lines of sight but no individualized privacy. After completing dozens of facilities\, the clinical and design teams have been able to evaluate patient satisfaction and staff workflows to determine the pros and cons between the two models of care. Unlike Patient Rooms where privacy and infection risks are higher\, the outpatient infusion environment can support a more opened layout and can even be hybridized. Some of the key defining factors included:-          Patient and Family Socialization-          Response times to IV alerts-          Staffing ratio for witnessing medication and patient visibility-          Noise levels-          Physical footprint and capacity-          Inventory management-          Patient turnaround time-          Equity in spaces for all patients to have the same experienceAs a system\, the preferred model of care has shifted to back to open bays to facilitate a higher need for patient care with available nursing staff.
