161Background: The Sarah Cannon Blood Cancer Network (SCBCN) is comprised of 7 blood cancer and Hematopoietic Cell Therapy (HCT) programs providing care for complex blood cancer patients. Network commitment to achieving standardization of care for quality and clinical platforms led to process design for development of evidence-based pathways. Methods: Standard operating procedures and a document control process were developed by the network quality management (QM). With oversight by physician leaders, initial efforts focused on standardizing patient selection criteria for HCT followed by formation of disease-specific work groups (leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, HCT). Physician-led and composed of key network team members (PharmDs, QM professionals, SCBCN leaders, research staff), the groups are responsible for developing evidence-based diagnostic and treatment pathways/algorithms for hematologic malignancies. Members participate in monthly teleconferences to develop the pathways. Annual review and d...
