Helping Patients Learn to Self-Administer in a Commercial Teach and Train Program
Back to All Naven Health NewsFor patients managing a rare disease, learning to self-administer therapy at home can be a turning point. Perhaps creating fewer clinic visits, fewer disruptions to daily life, and a sense of control over a condition that often feels uncontrollable. Reaching that level of independence can be supported with in-home nursing services to teach and empower patients to confidently self-administer.
In-Home Nursing to Support Patient Independence
In partnership with a global pharmaceutical manufacturer, Naven Health provided exclusive nursing serves to support a commercial Teach and Train program for patients living with rare conditions who needed to learn intravenous and subcutaneous self-administration. There should be a high degree of comfort with the process, so the program was structured around one goal: help each patient or caregiver reach independent self-administration, typically within three to five visits.
Every patient enters the program differently. A parent learning to administer therapy for a child has different needs than an adult managing their own care, and someone who has lived with their diagnosis for years brings different anxieties than someone recently diagnosed. Naven Health’s nurses helped to provide the tailored care to adapt to each person’s pace, questions, and comfort level.
What 13 Years of Partnership Looks Like
From the start, this program operated with a dedicated program management team. That team oversees therapy-specific education protocols, coordinates scheduling across geographies, and makes sure every nurse entering a patient’s home has been trained on the specific therapy they are supporting.
Zero cancellations attributable to Naven across 3,500 visits. A 96% patient satisfaction score sustained year after year. These numbers reflect a strong partnership and operational process to help every patient receive the care they deserve.

Helping Patients Get On Treatment Faster
For pharmaceutical manufacturers and life science partners, bringing a therapy to market is only part of the access challenge. Coverage and approval open the door, but they don’t clear everything standing between a patient and treatment. Patients can still be left with lab work they need to complete first, vaccines they need before starting and […]
Bringing the Trial to the Patient: Nursing Support for Decentralized Clinical Trials in Pediatric Rare Disease
Recruiting and retaining patients for a clinical trial in pediatric rare disease can be challenging. Patient populations are small, families are geographically dispersed, and the burden of repeated travel to a trial site can stretch families thin over the course of a multi-year study. When a child also faces physical and cognitive challenges, the demands […]
