Home Care
Home Care provides supportive medical care in a patient's home
We provide the care that's right for you in your own home, where you'll feel most comfortable.
Jump ahead on this page
When you're recovering from an illness or injury, home can be the best place for you. Comfort and familiarity have therapeutic value that enhances the healing process. Home care brings professional care from a hospital-based provider right to your door.
Indiana University Health Home Care provides specialized care customized to your needs. At-home access to this level of care supports the earliest possible discharge after a hospital stay, but a hospital stay is not required to receive home care services. Home care services can result in better outcomes for you, including reducing preventable readmissions and visits to the emergency room.
Home care services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week within our service area.
Services we offer include, but are not limited to:
Select a Home Care condition below to access information from our Health Library as well as how IU Health can help.
Antibiotics and Anti-infectives
Some infections cannot be treated with oral medications and require treatment with injectable medications. If you need injectable medications, but otherwise do not need to be hospitalized, our home care pharmacy department can provide medications and nursing services in the comfort of your home. Our pharmacists and nurses work closely with your physician to monitor your progress and make sure you are receiving the best treatment for your infection.
Anti-emetic Medications and Hydration
Anti-emetics are medications used to prevent or treat the symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Nausea or vomiting can quickly dehydrate you, and you may be unable to take oral medications or drink enough to stay hydrated. We can give you anti-emetics and/or hydration fluids by injection or infusion as appropriate to provide relief from these symptoms. These therapies may be helpful for chemotherapy or radiation patients, pregnant patients or patients suffering from after effects of anesthesia or a gastrointestinal condition.
Some chemotherapy regimens can be given at home, rather than requiring you to be hospitalized or to travel frequently to an infusion center or clinic. Our trained team will work with your doctor to manage your treatment regimen and its side effects. Sometimes digestive complications or poor appetite during chemotherapy can lead to poor nutrition. Our nurses and dietitians are available to help you maintain a high energy level and good quality of life during this difficult time.
Specialty Injectable Medications
Our pharmacy can provide many injectable and infusion medications that are not available from your local retail pharmacy. In addition, our specialized compounding equipment and expertise allows us to dispense many medications in individualized doses, when the size provided by the manufacturer is not appropriate (for example, doses appropriate for babies and children can be prepared).
IV Immune Globulin (IVIG)
Intravenous immune globulin, or IVIG, is used to treat patients with a variety of autoimmune disorders. If you are to receive IVIG in your home, our pharmacists will work with your doctor to ensure you receive appropriate pre-treatments, and in most cases, a nurse will visit you to administer and adjust your infusion as needed for your comfort and convenience. Our nurses can also teach you to administer the medication yourself if you will have to take it long term.
Pain Management
If you have severe pain that is not controlled with oral medications, you may need injectable pain medications. Our home care nurses will instruct you on how to administer these medications, including how to operate an infusion pump if necessary. Each pump is pre-programmed by a professional to provide the customized dose ordered by the doctor. Our high-tech pumps allow the doctor to order additional "as needed" doses, which you control, to ensure that your pain is managed well and that you are kept comfortable.
Enteral Nutrition Therapy
We provide supplies and formulas for patients who receive nutrition via a feeding tube (called enteral nutrition). Our trained staff will teach you how to use and care for the feeding tube and the supplies and equipment required. Our dietitians work directly with your doctor to make sure you are receiving optimum nutrition.
Parenteral Nutrition Therapy
If your gastrointestinal tract is unable to digest food normally, either permanently or temporarily (for example, after a surgical procedure or injury), you may need to have nutrition delivered through an intravenous (IV) line directly into your bloodstream. Our pharmacists work with your doctor to create a formula that will meet your nutritional needs. They will monitor your lab values closely as you continue on therapy to ensure any necessary adjustments are made. Our nurses will educate you and your family or caregiver on administration.
Respiratory Home Medical Equipment
We can provide and/or assist in coordinating many home respiratory products and services. IU Health Home Care operates several Sleep Apnea Education Centers throughout Central Indiana, where patients can make appointments to consult with our respiratory therapists regarding positive airway pressure (PAP, CPAP, BiPAP) therapy. We can often accommodate walk-ins as well.
Breast Pumps
Based on a doctor's order for a new mother, most insurance plans now cover an electric breast pump and supplies. We accept most insurance plans and will be happy to arrange for pickup or home delivery of a breast pump and related supplies.
Mastectomy Products and Garments
Our Expressions team includes Certified Mastectomy Fitters who are skilled in assisting patients who are facing or have undergone mastectomy surgery. We offer a variety of breast prosthetics and specialized garments for this patient population.
Clinical Staff
Our highly trained professional staff includes:
- Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses
- Home health aides
- Physical and occupational therapists
- Speech and language pathologists
- Medical social workers
- Dietitians
- Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians
- Respiratory therapists
Clinical services offered include, but are not limited to:
- Heart failure program
- Comprehensive management of diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),and other chronic conditions
- Home telemonitoring
- Post-operative management after orthopedic surgery (including joint replacements)
- Stroke rehabilitation
- Custom-tailored exercise programs
- Fall prevention, including home safety evaluation and balance retraining
- Medication management assistance
- Lab-result monitoring and finger-stick anti-coagulation checks with immediate results
- Wound and ostomy care
- Education to help family members of Alzheimer's patients or other forms of dementia or cognitive impairment
Home care has many benefits
Besides providing high-level skilled care to you in the comfort of your home, home care has other benefits, including:
- Shorter hospital stays and fewer preventable readmissions and emergency room visits
- Coordination of care between hospital and home, and between post-acute skilled nursing or rehabilitation facility and home.
- Convenience, allowing you to return to work or school while receiving home care (in some cases)
- Better outcomes
- Significant cost reduction compared with extended hospitalization
Learn more about home care
- The National Association for Home Care & Hospice: Caring.org provides information about how home care works and how it can help you manage your health care at home.
- The availability of home infusion therapy means that many patients may be able to receive IV or subcutaneous medications in the comfort of home, rather than having to endure a longer-than-necessary hospital stay or travel to an outpatient infusion center or clinic. Learn more by contacting IU Health Home Care or through the National Home Infusion Association.

A Skegness landlord out in Brazil watching the World Cup contacted the Standard
to share his thought and feelings following England's early exit from the competition.
Paul Farrell landlord of Churchills Wine and Sports bar Skegness said: "well what can I say? I think the English game needs changing from the FA right down to the clubs.
There is something very fundamentally wrong with our English game, whether its too many foreign imports playing in our premiership I don't know."
"I think our players are over coached, which stifles a lot of flair, we are just not good enough on the world stage, we cannot attack, and unfortunately our game plan went wrong," he said.
"Taking all that away, the atmosphere at the Uruguay game was fantastic, with great banter between fans. After the game the Uruguayan's were very surprised that St George was still happy to pose for photos with them."
Paul has cut his trip short because of the Uruguay result, as after the final game England will play no further part in World Cup 2014.
Paul said: "The one thing I will take away from Brazil is how friendly the Brazilian's have been, plus all the fans from all over the world."
"It was also great to visit the amazon and experience the culture", he added.

The Global Network Initiative (GNI) welcomes the decision by Congressional leaders to postpone immediate consideration of proposed intellectual property legislation in the Senate and House of Representatives. GNI supports the goal of protecting intellectual property online, but we firmly believe that the approach used in the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect-IP (PIPA) is flawed and poses an unacceptable threat to global online freedom of expression and innovation.
We are encouraged by the worldwide outpouring of concern around these issues and urge Congress to adopt an inclusive and transparent approach as it considers how legislation might effectively protect intellectual property and uphold fundamental rights to free expression online. As the U.S. government considers alternative measures, the companies, civil society organizations, investors, and academics that make up GNI collectively recommend a transparent approach that not only includes content and Internet companies, but also civil society organizations and representatives of the users of the Internet.
The interconnected nature of the Internet means that a well-intended but narrow effort to address one set of problems can have serious unintended consequences on the integrity of the Internet and the rights of its users. Crafting effective legislation on technology requires the engagement of diverse stakeholders, especially those with deep understanding of both technical and human rights considerations.
The global implications of U.S. legislation merit particular attention, as laws and policies developed in Washington can serve as precedent or justification for those of other countries, with the potential to undermine the Internet's capacity as a tool for protecting and advancing fundamental freedoms. With this in mind, we encourage the careful assessment of the global impact of proposed legislative provisions on human rights, especially freedom of expression and privacy.
GNI is a multi-stakeholder group of companies, civil society organizations (including human rights and press freedom groups), investors and academics, who have created a collaborative approach to protect and advance freedom of expression and privacy in the ICT sector. GNI provides resources for ICT companies to help them address difficult issues related to freedom of expression and privacy that they may face anywhere in the world. GNI has created a framework of principles and a confidential, collaborative approach to working through challenges of corporate responsibility in the ICT sector.

Fresh off his official casting as Johnny Storm in the "Fantastic Four" reboot, actor Michael B. Jordan may have yet another superhero role up his sleeve: a small part in "Batman vs. Superman."
John Sciulli/Getty Images for NAACP Image Awards
Latino Review reports that Jordan may be in the running for the unspecified role, which is set to be minimal in the "Man of Steel" sequel, but recur in later D.C. Comics films.
"According to sources, the production is currently looking for a black actor in his early 20s who is also physically fit," Latino Review writes, adding that they've heard Jordan has already met with director Zack Snyder about the part. The site points out that The Hollywood Reporter previously noted that Snyder doesn't cast a wide net when looking for stars, but "target[s] actors from a narrow shortlist of those they want."
If that's indeed the case, and Jordan has already met with the director, it would seem his involvement is a done deal. Still, Latino Review is the only site currently reporting the rumor -- and Jordan's already got a lot on his plate, thanks to his aforementioned "Fantastic Four" role -- so it's best to wait for some official word from the studio before jumping to conclusions.
That being said, Gamma Squad has a rundown of all the potential characters Jordan could be playing if he does indeed join "Batman vs. Superman." Take a look and decide for yourself if the red-hot actor sounds right for any of them.

HCN Stock Watch: Stocks rebound
Most of the Top 30 stocks posted gains at the close of Thursday — USG led the pack with a positive 13.42%.
Scotts Q1 shows improvement
Scotts Miracle-Gro reported an adjusted loss from continuing operations for its first quarter of $65.4 million, which is an improvement of $3.1 million, compared with an adjusted loss of $68.5 million last year.
Net sales in the three months ended Dec. 28, 2013, totaled $196.4 million, down 5% from $205.8 million during the same quarter a year ago. The company pointed to the timing of pre-season shipments to retailers for the decline.
Sales in the Global Consumer segment were $145.3 million during the quarter, compared with $153.2 million a year ago. Scotts LawnService sales were up 3% to $46.2 million in the first quarter, compared with $44.8 million in the year-ago period.
"While most of North America is gripped by winter, our sales, marketing and supply chain teams are working diligently to ensure a strong start to the lawn and garden season," said Jim Hagedorn, chairman and CEO. "In markets where gardening activity is occurring, we see solid levels of consumer participation, which gives us continued confidence in our plans for the year."
The operating loss for the Global Consumer segment was $67.3 million during the first quarter, compared with a loss of $68.7 million last year. Scotts LawnService reported operating income of $2.6 million, compared with a loss of $0.9 million during the same quarter a year ago.
The company expects company-wide net sales to increase by 2% to 3% in fiscal 2014.
HCN Stock Watch: Central Garden & Pet rises
Central Garden & Pet rose above the pack with a 7.79% increase, while more than half of the 30 stocks saw decreases.

"The Office" ended its seventh season with a litany of guest stars applying to replace Steve Carell's departed Michael Scott after Will Ferrell exited his four-episode arc: Jim Carrey, Will Arnett, Catherine Tate, Ricky Gervais, and James Spader. Of those, Spader played the most interesting and realistic character, so it's good to hear that he's in talks to join the show as a full-time cast member, first as the Dunder-Mifflin manager, then as a replacement for Kathy Bates, who will leave the show to focus on "Harry's Law."
Whereas Bates functioned more like a guest star in the series, however, Spader would have a significant weekly presence on the show. The actor's deal is not done and no scripts have been written for the upcoming eighth season, which goes into production in about a month. Yet if all goes according to plan, Spader's character — named "Robert California" — will be introduced in the premiere as the new Office manager. He quickly decides the role is too small for him, and somehow talks corporate into appointing him as its new CEO.
Sources say California will have a strong impact on the rest of the Office staff, demonstrating a manipulative power and a somewhat creepy sexual vibe. [EW]
That last part isn't exactly necessary. It's like saying that Halle Berry's going to play an attractive person. "Manipulative power and creepy sexual vibe" is what Spader brings to every role, which is precisely what makes him so great. It's practically his middle name. James Manipulative Sexy Creep Spader.

The Virtual Community
by Scott London
All sorts of reasons have been advanced in recent years to explain the decline of community in America, from the way we design our neighborhoods to the increased mobility of the average American to such demographic shifts as the movement of women into the labor force. But the onslaught of television and other electronic technologies is often cited as a primary culprit. As Harvard sociologist Robert Putnam puts it, these technologies are increasingly "privatizing our leisure time" and "undermining our connections with one another and with our communities."
In his essay "The Strange Disappearance of Civic America," Putnam drew a direct parallel between the arrival of television and the decline of what he called "social capital" — the social networks, trust, and norms of reciprocity that are the essence of healthy communities. As he pointed out, a "massive change in the way Americans spend their days and nights occurred precisely during the years of generational civic disengagement." It follows that technologies like computers and television which "cocoon" us from our neighbors and communities exacerbate the loss of social capital.
But with the rise of so-called "virtual communities" on the Internet, there are some who believe that electronic technologies can actually be used to strengthen the bonds of community and reverse America's declining social capital. They stress that electronic networks can help citizens build organizations, provide local information, and develop bonds of civic life and conviviality. While the claims are no doubt overstated in many cases (as they always are when new technologies are involved), there is growing evidence that this may be the case, particularly in local community networks.
I explore this idea in "Civic Networks: Building Community on the Net," an essay published in the new book Composing Knowledge, edited by Rolf Norgaard (Bedford/St. Martin's Press). The piece looks at the role of online networks in building and strengthening community and tries to sort through some of the rhetoric — much of it overblown — about so-called virtual communities. My sense is that these networks can play a role in strengthening communities if they are used to augment social networks that are already in place. In addition to their obvious benefits as text-based information systems, networks can serve as public spaces for informal citizen-to-citizen interaction, they can support rational dialogue and, in some cases, deliberation, and they can promote the social connectedness, trust, and cooperation that constitute social capital.

Thoughts about… Why Code Quality Matters
Code quality is a strange thing. It seems to have a high priority before a project starts but often gets totally abandoned once the crunch time of the project begins. In this article I want to illustrate why everyone including managers, product owners, scrum masters and of course developers should care about code quality and give some useful arguments to those developers feeling that their efforts to keep it up are not acknowledged.
Why Should I Care…
…as a Developer
When I work in code which to me has a bad or messy look I feel the strong urge to refactor it. Refactoring it will cost some extra time that may be not planned and so this obviously slows me down.
So I could close my eyes to the ugliness and just do what I came for, leaving the code in at least the same mess it was before. This is a bad idea since there is a good chance that I leave the code in even worse shape that it was before. Why? Because I care less for bad code I did not write in the first place, because I want to get out as fast as possible, because clean code looks odd in a messy environment…
At least I will be slowed down because I keep thinking "Should I refactor this mess? No, I don't have the time! But it is so terrible…".
Yes, this is mostly psychological and other people may act less careless than I would, though my experience tells me different.
So at least after leaving the code in bad shape I write a task to refactor it soon. However the product owner keeps declining to give my team extra time to do such tasks (and they keep piling up).
…as a Manager/Product Owner
Good product owners may be listening to the team and grand that extra time to do refactorings. Better product owners will ask how it came to that mess and will ask the team to make sure that it will never happens again.
However not such good product owner will decline. They have a tight schedule for the product and after all there is no business value in clean code, right?
But after some time all kinds of product owners will notice that the velocity of the team is going down, the forecast of features completed for the next release gets worse and worse. Moving in messy code always slows developers down as I wrote above.
I saw some teams whose velocity did not went down while their mess grew. Those teams failed to get a good test coverage and did not do any acceptance testing. So they really did not slow down… in producing bugs!
So if you want your features steady and in good shape you must care about code quality.
…as a Scrum Master
A scrum master is a coach for the team. He or she should help the team to cooperate. Code quality (as defined by the team) is an indicator for the team's inner cooperation. Show me your code and I tell you how well your team performs. If I find a common style and understanding in that code, your team is in good shape. If I find completely differed solutions for similar problems, different styles and no commentary next to a lot of it, your team is a set of individuals not interested into the work of one another. I know that the first one will produce good and adaptable products, for the second I'm not so sure.
Also a scrum master should also protect the team from impediments. Bad code is an impediment once it is there, so why not keep the team from producing it.
How to Keep Code Quality Up
So keeping the code quality up should be in everyone's best interest. But how can we detect code quality declines, how can we get a common sense of it?
Definition of Done
The Definition of Done (DoD) is the first step. Get some common understanding of code quality into the DoD. Discuss about code documentation, maximum complexity of methods and classes, the good old tabs-or-spaces fight and write down some rules. If you can give an explanation why you found a rule important and write it down as well. Knowing the reason for a rule always makes it easier to follow it.
So now you got a common understanding of code quality in the team, everyone agreed to the DoD and so everyone will the code quality up, right? Well, it might happen, but it is very unlikely. Rules can be bend, written rules can be interpreted in a way not intended, people can get careless and lazy if it is harder than they thought to comply to the rules… sooner than you know you find all windows broken.
If you are the Product Owner, read your team's DoD, if you don't understand the rules ask questions. Do not ever criticise rules if you think they are to complex or to expensive, but try to understand why the team cares about them. If they come to you and ask for extra time to get the rules compliance up, you should know what those rules are and why they are important.
Sometimes rules may be bend and broken for a good reason. If that's the case, you need to change the rule. Exceptions to rules must be made explicit. Otherwise the exception will weaken the acceptance of the whole rule or even of the whole DoD and you will end up in big trouble.
If complying to a rule takes a lot of effort while its benefit is relatively low you should talk about it and if you cannot reduce the effort it might be a better solution to abandon the rule. Make it explicit by crossing the rule out on the DoD instead of just deleting it and write down why you abandoned the rule.
Abandoning and adapting rules that are hard to comply to is much more important than you might think. A DoD that can be adapted by the team is one everyone in the team cares about. Nobody can say that the rules were nonsense if they were made be themselves.
If you are the Scrum Master of the team encourage adoptions if you sense conflicts.
Code Reviews and Pairing
Even if you have a great common understanding, there can still be misunderstandings how to comply to a rule or the understanding and the motivation to comply may not be as common as you think. In my experience code reviews and pair programming are the only way to detect such issues. Especially pair programming is great in the early phases of a team.
If your team mate has misunderstood a rule you will detect it before it gets into too much code. It does not matter if you are the navigator or the driver, misunderstandings are detected and can be carried out with the rest of the team.
Also there might be rules that are to black or white rules. If you wrote down that you want your code human readable, this rule can be only checked by another human.
Complying to rules must be easy. There are a lot of tools out there to detect rule violations and you should use them. As a Java programmer I use Sonar to visualise violations to the whole team, including the PO and the SM and everyone who is interested. Find some similar to that. It should be fed by your CI the be up to date all the time and it should be accessible and understandable to everyone interested. Tools running on developer machines are definitely useful but having a central system everyone trusts it very important and keeps you from blaming your team mate's tool.
If you are the Product Owner, keep an eye on the statistics and let the team know that you do. Make the team show them during the review meeting, so everyone can see in which shape the code is. If you are the Scrum Master, make the team talk about the statistics in the retrospective meeting.
As shown there is no long team benefit in abandoning code quality in favour of faster development. There simply is no quick and dirty. There is only dirty and a short time in which there are more features per sprint than before. But after some time the effect will turn into its opposite because the team simply cannot move fast in dirty code.
Even if you think that you can live with that to get your super critical feature out in time, think about the psychological side effects of dirty code. Broken window is a real thing. Fixing broken windows is a frustrating job nobody likes to do. If you still think that you need to do quick and dirty at least you should monitor your technical dept by some tool and let the team produce stories for removing it again. This way you can see how much dept you already have to pay.

I reversed my decision. Then I woke and reversed it back again.
In an instant, by email, I threw away perhaps my best opportunity yet to fast-track into a career as a barrister. Years of dreams about standing in a wig arguing before the High Court surged like sewage through my conscience. I'm happy with the decision, but it was a very hard one.
I was so distracted I forgot a present I bought at lunchtime for a wedding (another!) we are going to tomorrow. I had to catch the train back into town to get it.
Need G&T!
A friend who attended my wedding, the brilliant (if sadly slightly conservative) Paul Knapp, has just started (no doubt programmed it himself from scratch) a site that is half news half blog where you "bump" your favourite stories up to the top!
Here it is: NEWSBUMP.
Bump.... brings to mind Fergie from Black Eyed Peas and her "Bumps, my humps, my lovely lady lumps..." Not what he had in mind I'm sure!
Another High Court disaster - The High Court has done a great job in messing up Australian democracy with its absurdly literalistic reading of the Constitutional provisions on dual citi...

Negotiations between South Peninsula Hospital Inc. and the Kenai Peninsula Borough have produced a new six-year operating agreement.
The tentative pact must now be reviewed by the South Peninsula Hospital Service Area Board, which would forward its recommendation to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly, which has the final word concerning ratification.
An ordinance that would authorize Borough Mayor John Williams to execute the Sublease and Operating Agreement with the hospital corporation was introduced at the Dec. 4 assembly meeting. It has been set for public hearings on Jan. 8 and Jan. 22.
The current operating agreement, which expires April 7, 2008, includes an automatic five-year renewal unless notice of termination is filed before Jan. 25, 2008.
Among the new elements is a requirement that the hospital have a detailed strategic plan, said administration Chief of Staff Tim Navarre.
"That's important, so that essentially they have a game plan for operating the hospital, more so than a one- or two-page plan. That was something the mayor required in negotiations and wanted to see," Navarre noted.
In a memo to the assembly, Borough Attorney Colette Thompson outlined some of the major changes in the new agreement.
The new agreement's format was changed to more closely mirror the agreement the borough has with Central Peninsula General Hospital Inc. However, there are still significant differences between the two documents, she said.
The pact is for six years, with a possible six-year extension. The previous contract was for five years.
Hospital corporate officials will be required to present oral quarterly reports to the assembly, just as CPGH Inc. does.
SPH Inc. will be required to follow certain purchasing policies and procedures and obtain the borough's approval to change them. This follows current practice, but was not reflected in the previous agreement.
The hospital will have to notify the borough when it wants to spend in excess of $100,000 on capital improvements and equipment, or when analyses of projects would exceed that figure.
There are several other provisions dealing with levels of expenditures, but essentially, the threshold for getting necessary approvals for spending funds was raised in consideration of the effect of inflation on hospital costs in the past decade.
The agreement also requires the hospital establish a plant/equipment replacement and expansion fund similar to that of CPGH Inc.; meet certain performance measurements including compliance with Medicare and Medicaid law; includes specific requirements related to pension plan funding; and makes other provisions having to do with level of service.
Efforts to reach Hospital Administrator Charlie Franz for comment were not successful Thursday.
In other business at its Dec. 4 meeting, the assembly introduced several new ordinances and set public hearings for Jan. 8. They included:
* Ordinance 2007-19-31 appropriating $20,000 from the state of Alaska reimbursing firefighting costs incurred by the Anchor Point Fire and Emergency Medical Service Area.
* Ordinance 2007-19-32 appropriating a state grant of $200,000 for community purpose under the state's Municipal Energy Assistance Program.
* Ordinance 2007-19-33 accepting $523,650 from the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation for teacher housing in Nanwalek and appropriating matching funds of $200,000 to that project.
* Ordinance 2007-19-34 appropriating a state grant of $100,000 to provide fishing opportunities for disabled veterans and authorizing a sole-source agreement with Last Frontiersman to provide those services.
The assembly also confirmed appointments to the Board of Adjustment and Board of Equalization.
To the BOA were appointed:
* Barbara Belluomini, of Soldotna, Seat A, term expires Dec. 31, 2009.
* Betty Glick, of Kenai, Seat B, term expires Dec. 31, 2010.
* Tom Clark, Anchor Point, Seat E, term expires Dec. 31, 2010.
To the BOE were appointed:
* Michelle Medley, of Kenai, Seat B, term expires Dec. 31, 2010.
* Saylor Rehm, of Kenai, Seat E, term expires Dec. 31, 2010.
