ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The National Home Infusion Association will launch a new peer-review publication, Infusion Journal. The new scholarly journal will feature independent research and studies related to infused therapies, patient outcomes, medication safety, economic analyses and case studies. “Our provider organizations are operating in a unique and growing health care sector that is underrepresented in the academic-style publishing area,” said Connie Sullivan, president of NHIA. “With the publication of Infusion Journal, NHIA will make data-driven clinical and policy related findings available to the many disciplines involved in delivering infusion therapies in a variety of settings.” The NHIA will publish the journal three times a year and initially mail it as a supplement to INFUSION Magazine, the association’s flagship publication. NHIA, through its 501(c)(3) affiliate National Home Infusion Foundation (NHIF), has renewed its focus on the importance of research and evidence-based practice for the past decade. NHIF has published several research studies resulting from the collection of industry-wide, standardized data on patient satisfaction, reasons for discontinuation of home infusion services and experiences with administration of COVID-19 monoclonal antibodies. The new Infusion Journal will encourage individual clinicians to conduct independent research and submit the results for publication.
