IV Ensure in Patients Receiving OPAT

September 30, 2024 updated by: IV Ensure

The purpose of remote therapeutic monitoring is to provide oversight and evaluation of patients receiving IV medications in the home setting post-acute. The goal is to improve patient outcomes and decrease re-admission rates for related diagnoses due to poor adherence. Remote therapeutic monitoring provides data used in the determination of dates, times, and duration of doses administered in the home setting to support real-time intervention by dedicated care managers to support improved adherence with prescribed dosing regiments. The objectives of the study are to:

  1. Determine adherence rates for IV medications administered in the home.
  2. Assess re-admission against adherence rates.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Determine adherence rate for IV medications administered in the home.
Patients will be assigned IV Ensure's remote therapeutic monitoring device to determine their adherence rate with administration of IV medications administered in the home in comparison to their provider's orders.
IV Ensure proprietary remote therapeutic monitoring device is used to record and transmit data associated with date, time, and duration of IV medications administered in the home setting post-acute.
Other Names:
  • IV Advocate
Experimental: Assess re-admission against adherence rates.
Assess correlation of patients hospital re-admission rates for infection related disease progression associated with adherence rates of IV medications administered in the home.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Readmission due to subsequent related infection following the initial encounter.
Time Frame: From enrollment to 30 days after completion of prescribed IV medication.
This will be defined as a dichotomous outcome variable with Yes occurring when (a) a patients ID reoccurs in the OU Medicine EMR/EHR data pull within 30 days of their discharge with IV Ensure remote therapeutic monitoring device and (b) the patients readmissions reason matched the pre-specified list of ICD codes corresponding to secondary or downstream infections. If both of the above do not occur, the readmission variable will be set to No.
From enrollment to 30 days after completion of prescribed IV medication.
