“Navigating Growth: Expanding a Bone Marrow Transplant Unit in Compliance with FACT Standards"

Over a span of thirty years, our adult inpatient BMT Unit has undergone significant growth. With the increasing number of hematology referrals and the introduction of new therapies, capacity needed to expand. In the winter of 2022, a decision was made to annex the adjacent unit, creating a twenty-nine bed Bone Marrow Transplant Unit. This expansion necessitated the development of a new staffing model and associated clinical training. Additionally, it was imperative that compliance with the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) standards was maintained.
