How an Enjoyable Infusion Experience Can Boost Patient Adherence

For patients with chronic conditions that require infusion therapy, adhering to a regular treatment schedule is critical to their health and well-being.  

However, keeping up with infusion appointments can be challenging, and some patients may struggle to stay compliant with their treatment plans. 

Here’s why and how the LUX Infusion team can provide an enjoyable infusion experience, promoting compliance and adherence for better patient outcomes.

How Patients Respond to Positive Infusion Experiences

Studies have shown that a positive and enjoyable infusion experience can have a significant impact on patient adherence to their treatment plan. 

In fact, patients who feel comfortable, relaxed, and well-cared-for during their infusions tend to be more motivated to continue with their appointments. 

A study published in the Journal of Infusion Nursing found that patients who receive infusion therapy in a positive, welcoming environment:

1. Reported higher levels of satisfaction with their treatment experience
   

2. Were more likely to adhere to their prescribed treatment regimen
   

3. Tend to have more positive prognoses and outcomes

That’s because patients who feel more comfortable and at ease during their infusions are more likely to:

• Experience reduced anxiety and stress, which can negatively impact their health
  

• Feel more satisfied with their treatment 
  

• Trust their healthcare providers more, which can mean better communication and collaboration between patients and providers.

So, making the infusion experience as positive and enjoyable as possible can be an incredibly powerful way to improve, promote, and maintain patient adherence to treatment plans. 

Beyond Adherence: Comfort Is Key at LUX Infusion

Although important, adherence is not the only reason why LUX Infusion puts so much emphasis on the patient infusion experience.

Fundamentally, we believe all patients who infuse deserve to feel:

1. Comfortable

2. Pampered
