Hi-Tech nurses come into the patient’s home and instruct and train patient and caregivers to use infusion therapies and maintain access devises. Usually, Hi-Tech nursing patients are cancer patients in need of chemotherapy, transplant patients in need of IV antibiotics or home pain management, and patients who use ambulatory infusion pumps and /or need IV hydration.
