Referral to stepdown facilities involves transferring patients from higher levels of care, like hospitals or acute care settings, to facilities or units that offer a less intensive level of medical care but more than what a regular community or home setting could provide. These stepdown facilities or units serve as an intermediate step in patient care, where the focus is on rehabilitation, recovery, and preparing the patient for a return to home or another less intensive care environment.
Intravenous (IV) iron infusion is a method of delivering iron directly into the bloodstream through a vein. This procedure is used to treat iron deficiency anemia, particularly when oral iron supplements are not sufficient, not tolerated, or when a rapid increase in iron levels is needed.
