Outpatient Hospitalist-Run Procedure Service Bridges the Gap in Oncology Care
Hospitalist-run procedure teams enable expedited care in the inpatient setting. However, wait times for outpatient interventional radiology (IR) are long at our institution. Our study thus aims to compare the safety and wait times between procedural teams and IR placement of outpatient temporary hemodialysis catheters (THDC) for patients undergoing Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy apheresis.A retrospective chart review was conducted on all patients receiving outpatient THDC for CART therapy from August 2019 until November 2022.
