[Happy birthday to Joint Accreditation Committee for ISCT Europe and EBMT].
JACIE (Joint accreditation committee for ISCT Europe and EBMT) is a comprehensive quality management system built in under the auspices of two European professional societies. The singularity of JACIE is its coverage of all the main actors - clinical wards as well as collection and processing facilities - that contribute to a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation program. Deployment of JACIE started ten years ago. A recent retrospective analysis of the large-size european registry of autologous and allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantations demonstrates that one of the factors affecting the overall survival of recipients of allogenic transplantation is the status of the transplant program regarding JACIE accreditation. This provides one of the first demonstrations that introduction of a quality management system can contribute to the overall survival of patients treated with a highly specific and complex medical procedure.
