Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT)
-
OPAT offers several advantages to both patients and healthcare providers1. It allows the patient to receive their treatment at home, and has been shown to deliver successful outcomes whilst reducing costs2.
-
Baxter enables the HSE to realise the benefits of OPAT in a number of ways. Baxter Infusor devices support moving suitable OPAT patients to a self-care model (S-OPAT) whether it is for antibiotics requiring once daily doses or multiple doses. Additionally we partner with nursing providers to train and support hospital clinicians and home patients, ensuring they are comfortable with the transition from hospital to home and are ready to self-care. With over 30 years’ experience of providing high quality aseptic compounding supported by extensive stability data, we can help you release the burden on your bed capacity, by treating patients at home.
-
Baxter deliver the compounded, ready to use infusion devices along with the ancillaries and equipment needed, direct to the patients home. In addition we can provide a flexible nursing service that can train both patients and community staff. Further support is also available through our Customer Services Homecare team.
-
In addition to providing an S-OPAT service, Baxter also supports the HSE H-OPAT (nurse administered) programme with our compounded ready to use infusion devices.
-
Our particular focus on maximising the number of self-caring patients helps reduce the overall cost of the nursing.
