The
Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) has initiated
a voluntary comprehensive standard-setting, inspection, and accreditation
program that encompasses all phases of hematopoietic collection, processing
and transplant. FACT is a nonprofit corporation developed by the International
Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT) and the American Society of Blood
and Marrow Transplantation (ASBMT) for the purposes of self-assessment
and accreditation in the field of hematopoietic cell therapy. FACT has
established standards for the provision of quality medical and laboratory
practice in hematopoietic cell transplantation; conducts inspections,
and accredits programs that will encourage health institutions and facilities
performing hematopoietic cell transplantation to voluntarily meet these
standards; and recognizes compliance with standards by issuance of Certificates
of Accreditation.
For further information on FACT please refer to the official
FACT Web Site.
