American River Healthcare has several organizations designed to address the medical needs of patients throughout the Sacramento area. Many of our services take place at the homes of our patients, but we also have – through American River Infusion Services – “infusion suites” where we can provide pharmaceutical infusions to patients in a place that is safe and comfortable.
These suites have everything that patients need to feel cared for when they’re getting and being monitored for their infusions. They have TVs, snacks, comfortable seating areas, privacy, and so much more. But, in addition to these amenities, there are some very real reasons that patients should consider receiving this type of pharmaceutical care in these suites.
Medical and Personal Reasons to Receive Personalized Medical Infusions
There are many benefits to seeking infusion services at a specialized infusion clinic, with personal suites, as opposed to a hospital or more traditional medical center. These include:
- Immediate Service – With our infusion suites, you are able to receive the care you need as soon as you arrive. You have a personalized room and a team that is here to provide you with the infusions as you come in, with little wait time or time spend in a waiting room.
- Privacy with No Rush – Many infusions are completed over a period of hours, not minutes. But hospitals need their rooms quickly, which often means that patients are rushed out. Not so of these suites, where the room is here for you, and you can stay as long as you need to be monitored.
- Safety – Sometimes, infusions are needed for those with compromised immune systems. Because hospitals may cater to sicker individuals, there may be illnesses that a person is at risk for. Infusion suites have fewer people, and thus a reduced risk or viral and bacterial infections.
- Reduced Cost – Some patients are eligible for infusion suites as an alternative to receiving treatment in the hospital under 24 hour care. This can potentially mean a reduced out of pocket cost for the patient depending on insurance.
- Personalized Care – Infusion suites often provide a more personalized approach to care. The staff-to-patient ratio, at least at American River Infusion Services, is lower, allowing for more individual attention and a greater focus on patient needs. This personalized care can contribute to a better overall experience for patients and better outcomes.
Out infusion suites also have a full team of pharmacists and medical experts available for your safety and care, with nurses that are here if you need them and pharmacists to specifically prepare your infusions at the time of service.
