DESCRIPTION
Meeting compliance requirements is never ending for facilities involved in cellular therapy. Imagine being responsible for a cell therapy facility(<40 transplant/yr), 1-2 personnel or utilizing cross trained staff and trying to meet rigorous compliance requirements set by some states, FDA and voluntary organizations such as AABB/FACT. This session will demonstrate that with minimal resources, programs can be established and maintained that fulfill the spirit of regulatory and compliance requirements.
