CarePoint Partners Acquires Houston-Based ivA Lifetec, Further Expanding Network of Regional Home Infusion and Specialty Pharmacy Providers

January 17, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

CINCINNATI, Jan. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — CarePoint Partners
(CarePoint) announced that it has completed the acquisition of ivA
Lifetec (Lifetec), a healthcare company that provides home infusion
and specialty infusion in conjunction with home health nursing
throughout the Houston, Texas metropolitan region.  With this
acquisition and the acquisition of a Dallas-Fort Worth infusion
services company in October of 2010, CarePoint Partners is now a
leader of home infusion services in the Texas market and across the
eastern and southern regions of the United States.  CarePoint
has completed ten acquisitions since its inception in December 2007
and now provides home infusion therapy and specialty pharmacy
services via 17 sites in seven states.

According to CarePoint CEO, Dana Soper, “Our business model is
to closely partner with healthcare professionals in the patient
continuum of care involving in-home or alternate-site infusion
therapy.  What really makes us different is the fact that we
go beyond the fundamental drop-ship dispatch services.  We
employ a collaborative ‘hospital-to-home’ program that optimizes
outcomes and patient satisfaction.”  CarePoint provides a
smooth patient transition from the hospital to home by
collaborating with the hospital, physicians, discharge planners and
home health agencies to assure accuracy of the care planning
process.  “Both the patient and the hospital benefit by this
program,” explains Soper.  “It prevents ‘bed lock’ or triage
of patients by transitioning a patient to home with infusion
therapy and allows the patient to convalesce at home versus an
acute hospital or long term facility.”

John Gee, co-founder of Lifetec, said, “We are very excited to
team up with CarePoint Partners.  Its reputation for providing
high-quality patient care
