Education Track Sessions

Smart Infrastructure for Ambulatory Infusion Success

Focusing on clinical workflow optimization and physical infrastructure planning, this session will examine how to align facility design with patient acuity, medication handling requirements, and staffing models. Attendees will gain insights into space planning, infection control, medication storage and preparation, and technology integration to support safe and efficient care delivery. The collaborative roles of pharmacists and nurses will be highlighted in shaping workflows that enhance patient safety, throughput, and experience. Real-world examples and implementation frameworks will be shared to guide decision-making and ensure operational excellence. Whether planning a new AIS or refining an existing one, participants will leave with actionable strategies to build a clinically sound and infrastructure-ready infusion environment.
