Excerpt

To understand and hence improve the positive impact of any healthcare activity, procedure or intervention, it is essential that there is an objective analysis of the activity, procedure or intervention based on predetermined standards.

In the field of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, outcome analysis is the process by which the results of a transplant procedure are formally assessed. It includes a series of reviews for evaluating the effectiveness of the health care provided and for identifying the most promising therapies and transplant approaches, given the available medical evidence and healthcare resources.

Outcome analysis allows the transplant team to understand the effects of their practice and improve quality. Its relevance is due to transplant involving high treatment-related risk, significant practice variations, and continual practice developments – for example, recent developments in CAR-T and IEC therapies.

The main aim of this chapter is to discuss how to find outcome data and how and when to present it. This will need to be adapted to the local programme.
