Expert End-to-End Consulting
for Establishing Advanced Home Infusion Pharmacy & Infusion Service
Your Opportunities and Challenges:
Home Infusion Therapy Business Landscape:
The home infusion therapy market is rapidly expanding. In the U.S., it is valued at $9–11 billion annually, driven by a shift towards cost-effective, patient-centered care (National Home Infusion Association, 2019). Globally, the market was valued at $22.2 billion in 2018, with an expected annual growth rate of 7.2% through 2026 (Grand View Research, Inc., 2019).
Health Systems: Face pressures to deliver high-quality care while controlling costs. Third-party payers are urging a shift to cost-effective care settings like home infusion. Challenges include high operational costs, overcrowded facilities, and the need to reduce readmissions. Balancing acute care with expanding outpatient services can lead to revenue loss, strained resources, and compromised patient outcomes.
Independent Pharmacies: Confront shrinking traditional revenue streams and increased competition. The growing demand for home infusion presents an opportunity to diversify services and capture new revenue. Expanding into home infusion allows independent pharmacies to offer comprehensive care and improve their market position.

Client Reviews
EK Consultant trained us in all aspects of accreditation standards, CA Pharmacy law, USP797 and USP800. I am very fortunate to have received this training. She helped our pharmacy correct all non-complaint areas. It was a breeze when the board of pharmacy inspector visited us for the sterile compounding license inspection. We also received our accreditation report with no deficiencies. With EK specialty pharmacy consulting, we now have clarity and confidence for ongoing compliance.
EK Specialty Pharmacy Consulting helped us pass our sterile compounding Board of Pharmacy inspection and accreditation with a flawless report, and also helped us to streamline the compliance process. The consultant trained our key staff with up-to-date laws and regulations and corrected all the issues identified in limited time. Thank you EK Specialty.
