AbstractAchieving accredited status for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) programme shows an ongoing commitment to the quality and safety of the services offered and of the activities performed. Accreditation is considered a standard through which a healthcare facility or service is shown to offer quality and healthcare that meet minimum standards and guidelines offered by different quality boards (at national and international levels). Among the most well-known accreditation agencies in the world are the Joint Commission and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JC and JCAHO), the International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua), the Accreditation Commission for Health Care, Inc. (ACHC), the Healthcare Quality Association on Accreditation (HQAA) and, specifically for HCT programmes, the FACT and the JACIE.Any patient entering a healthcare facility wants and deserves to know that staff is trained and facilities are clean and well maintained and that procedures follow standards that reduce chances of error, infection or negligence.
