03. First Dosing in the Home: Initiating Biologic Therapy at Home
Join us to discuss the considerations and processes involved in initiating biologic therapy with the first dose administered in the patient’s home. Participants will discuss how organizations evaluate patient eligibility, develop policies, and implement standardized criteria to safely support first dosing outside traditional infusion centers. Attendees will gain practical insights into building programs that safely expand access to home-based infusion therapy while maintaining high standards of patient care.
