Description
Lessons Learned
- Based on our criteria, most medications can be administered in the home setting.
- A major barrier to administration at home is stability of medications at room temperature. This issue can be addressed by transporting and storing the medication in a refrigerated container.
- Expectedly, injectable drugs and medications with short infusion times that are stable at room temperature would be easiest to administer at home.
