title: Issues for designing marrow transplant programs.
abstract: Centers that design a creative and effective BMT program can be viable in this era of limited health care dollars. Ongoing evaluation of cost and outcome is of critical importance to the center, patients, insurers, and health care policy makers. The program design, operational design, staffing and education needs, and economic considerations are important components of a marrow transplant program.
