The Service Line Shift: Why Infusion Therapy Needs Its Own Strategy


Listen Later

What if treating infusion therapy as its own service line could turn pharmacy from a cost center into a revenue driver? On this episode of Power Supply, we welcome back Derek Imars, Executive Director of Pharmacy Supply Chain at IU Health, to explore why health systems should rethink their approach to infusion therapy. From the expansion of home infusion and CAR-T therapies to regulatory pressures, payor dynamics, and private equity influence, Derek breaks down the forces driving hospitals to centralize infusion services and build dedicated command centers. He shares how physician champions, referral networks, and strategic consolidation can help health systems manage the increasing spread of care delivery sites while avoiding revenue leakage. If you're managing infusion across multiple sites or wondering how to protect revenue while expanding access, this conversation shows you how to build a competitive advantage.
