Safety & Quality Standards
At Westwood IV Therapy, safety is not an afterthought, it is the foundation of everything we do.
We are proud to be accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC), a nationally recognized organization that evaluates healthcare providers against rigorous clinical and operational standards. This accreditation reflects our commitment to delivering care that meets the same high expectations found in leading healthcare systems.
​
When you invite a nurse into your home, trust matters. Our processes, training, and clinical protocols are designed to ensure that every aspect of your care is handled with professionalism, precision, and integrity.
​
ACHC Accreditation
ACHC accreditation is considered a gold standard in healthcare. It involves an independent, comprehensive review of:
-
Clinical protocols and patient safety procedures
-
Medication storage and preparation standards
-
Documentation and record keeping
-
Staff training and competency
-
Emergency preparedness and response
-
Patient rights and privacy protections
Earning this accreditation required a detailed evaluation of how we operate — and confirms that our standards align with nationally recognized best practices.
Nurse-Led Clinical Care
All IV therapy and vitamin injections are administered by experienced Registered Nurses.
Our nurses bring extensive hospital-based experience, including work in:
-
Emergency Departments
-
Intensive Care Units
-
Critical Care Transport and Flight Nursing
Beyond clinical skill, our nurses are trained to provide compassionate, respectful, and patient-centered care in the comfort of your home.
Medication Sourcing & Pharmacy Standards
Your safety depends on the integrity of the medications used.
We source our medications from licensed pharmacies that meet strict regulatory requirements and adhere to United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards for quality and sterility. Many of our medications are obtained from FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facilities, which are subject to additional oversight and quality controls.
Our medication handling procedures include:
-
Temperature-controlled storage
-
Lot tracking and expiration monitoring
-
Strict sterility protocols
-
Secure transport procedures
Every step is designed to ensure safety and consistency.
Privacy & Documentation
We follow established standards for secure documentation and patient privacy. All medical information is handled with discretion and professionalism, and we maintain structured documentation protocols to ensure accuracy and continuity of care.
Emergency Preparedness
Although IV therapy is generally safe and well tolerated, we maintain emergency response protocols and carry appropriate emergency medications and equipment at every appointment.
​
Our nurses are trained in emergency assessment and intervention, ensuring readiness in the unlikely event that a patient requires additional care.
Our Commitment to You
As a small, woman-owned business serving Westwood and surrounding communities, we are deeply committed to providing concierge-style IV therapy that is both personal and clinically sound.
