The Purpose
1. Quantify practice variation in the field
2. Addressed practices related to infection prevention:
 including isolation, personal protective barriers,
visitation, nutrition, and hygiene.
3. In addition, variation related to patient education
practices
4. Implementation of evidence-based guidelines related
to venous access devices (VAD), oral care, fatigue and
pain also explored.
Results
 Results suggest that although some practices are common across
organizations (e.g. airflow systems), variation exists regarding
the criteria and timing for initiation or discontinuation of a
specific practice. An explanation of these findings may be
related to:
 1) HSCT teams have a lack of knowledge related to current
guidelines,
 2) HSCT teams lack compliance with the standards based on
experience or preference by individual providers, and
 3) published guidelines lack the level of detail necessary to translate
recommendations into clinical practice.
Due to the complex nature of a HSCT, one challenge in this area of
research is how to measure and document the outcomes associated
with known practice variation or an individual practice.
