FOCUSED ON
THE INDIVIDUAL
Crescent Healthcare’s Home Parenteral Nutrition
Program is designed to fit the individualized needs of
our patients. Beginning at the point of referral, Crescent’s
Home Parenteral Nutrition Team assesses the patient’s
demographics to determine an individualized prescription
based upon the patient’s nutritional requirements.
Patients who are receiving Home Parenteral Nutrition require
skilled nursing, pharmacy and nutrition analysis. Assessment
by our Board Certified Nutrition Support Dietitians is
provided as well as personal patient contact to assist
with improving therapy outcome and quality of life.
Crescent Healthcare’s goal
is to provide safe, appropriate and high quality services
to each of our Home Parenteral Nutrition patients.
Our Nutrition Support Pharmacists
and Dietitians review Home Parenteral Nutrition patient
referrals and are available for case consultation. Each
patient receives on-going evaluation and monitoring.
We provide comprehensive patient education, supply management
and routine communication with follow-up to the patient’s
physician. Our clinical expertise is backed-up by comprehensive
policies and procedures. We have the capability to offer
patient-specific compounding and in-home initiation of
Parenteral Therapy.
TARGETED INTAKE
Our Intake Specialists are
knowledgeable about parenteral solutions and supplies.
They are also experts at insurance verification and government
eligibility criteria.
The intake process for Parenteral Nutrition Therapy focuses
on critical information to provide thorough clinical patient
management. We use a dedicated formulary to ensure the
best products are always available. We offer high quality
home delivery with 24-hour clinical support, 7-days per
week.
We are able to tailor a Home Parenteral
Nutrition prescription for both Adults and Pediatric
patients that assures safe and effective nutrition therapy
in the comfort of the patient’s
home.

Healthcare works closely with nutritional product manufacturers
