Abstract
The implementation of the Medicare Prospective Payment System (MPPS) has placed pressure on healthcare organizations to decrease patient length of stay without adversely affecting outcomes. This article discusses the impact of the MPPS on clinicians who provide infusion therapy, and examines methods for containing costs related to infusion care such as advanced planning and accurate vascular access device selection.Entities:
