Excerpt

Effective data management is critical for quality research in any hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) center for accuracy, reliability, and validity of the data. HSCT research is a dynamic and multi-domain process encompassing innovative therapeutic modalities, techniques, and interventions to change the existing standard of care and optimize survival outcomes and patients’ quality of life. Research has evolved as one of the core competencies for the standardization, accreditation, and academic standing of the transplant center. The Data Unit is the center of gravity and the hub of research (databases, registries, translational research, and randomized control trials) in a quality cancer care facility. HSCT data collection, collation, and interpretation have become an integral part of the treatment rather than an option. Quality assurance (QA) and continuous quality improvement (CQI) in data management are pivotal for credibility, measurable/quantifiable outcomes, clinically significant impact, and setting benchmarks. Quality assurance, ethical conduct, and monitoring of HSCT data are the hallmarks of a center of excellence in galvanizing the therapeutic interventions and optimizing the outcomes.
