Advancing Infusion Therapy: The INS Standards

The 2021 INS Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice are in progress and will be published in January 2021. The impact of the Standards on infusion therapy practice, both within the United States as well as globally, cannot be underestimated. Changes relative to the development of the Standards included global committee membership, attention to cultural differences, and a concerted effort to involve more reviewers from outside of the US. This presentation will highlight the efforts of the committee and the methodology used in development of this work. While it is beyond the scope of this presentation to provide detail regarding the new Standards, a few key changes, new standards, and new areas of focus will be described.

Learning Outcomes:

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to describe the scope of the INS Standards and identify expected changes in the 2021 Standards.
