ProblemHome infusion pharmacies manage 315,000+ specialty patients annually, but referral-to-first-dose still runs on spreadsheets and phone calls. Pharmacists spend 2h31min per patient on clinical and administrative tasks (NHIA 2024), and prior auth remains the top administrative burden (RAND 2025).
SolutionInfusionShield is a read-only clearance board that ingests the daily referral queue and surfaces case-level blockers: missing prior auth, incomplete insurance verification, unfilled nurse slot, pending drug prep, or missing patient education. No EHR replacement, no pharmacy system swap.
