About the National Infusion Center Association Accreditation
Program
NICA is an independent, nonprofit trade association
and accrediting body dedicated to representing outpatient care
settings where provider-administered biologics and specialty
medications are prepared and administered. The NICA Accreditation
Program and the NICA Standards of Excellence for Ambulatory
Infusion Centers are intended to pertain to all ambulatory care
settings where patients receive non-hazardous provider-administered
medications via parenteral (i.e., intravenous, intramuscular,
subcutaneous, or intradermal) routes.
The NICA Standards of Excellence for Ambulatory Infusion Centers
were established with the following objectives:
- Reduce disparities in care quality among office-based infusion
care settings;
- Support infusion providers' efforts to implement best
practices; and,
- Provide the basis for regulatory and legislative endeavors that
seek to ensure facilities preparing and administering parenteral
medications do so in a safe, consistent, and effective manner in
accordance with evidence-based standards of care.
