Who in the home care team orders the infusion therapy?

The physician is responsible for ordering infusion therapy within the home care team. Their role involves assessing the patient's medical condition, determining the need for specific treatments, and prescribing the appropriate therapy, which includes infusion therapies. The physician collaborates with other healthcare professionals, but the authority to initiate this treatment falls under their medical expertise.

While other team members, such as pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, play crucial roles in preparing, managing, and administering medications, they do not have the authority to prescribe therapies. The pharmacist may provide insights and recommendations based on their expertise, while the pharmacy technician assists with logistical tasks, but the physician is ultimately the one who decides on treatment protocols and safety measures for patient care. This clear delineation of roles ensures that patients receive appropriate, evidence-based therapies under medical supervision.
