Ambulatory Allogeneic Transplant: Strategies for a Safe and Optimal Process

Activity description

This activity consists of a recorded presentation from the "31st Annual National Clinical Conference" held in Bloomington, Minn., Oct. 17-19, 2022.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment for multiple hematological and oncologic diseases. Due to the intensity of the procedure and potential complications, allo-HSCT is generally performed in the inpatient setting. Conducting allo-HSCT in the outpatient setting is an attractive option due to several potential advantages such as patient independence, lesser utilization of hospital inpatient resources, decreased risk of nosocomial infections and possibly reduced costs. This session explores ambulatory allogeneic transplant trends with strategies on how to make the transplant a safe and standard process. You will also hear case study examples on the unique barriers and challenges experienced by patients and caregivers, including the need for housing during transplant and after transplant.
