Nursing is part of the multidisciplinary team consisting of physicians, advanced practice nurses, clinical pharmacists, transplant coordinators, insurance liaison nurses, dietitians, social workers, chaplains, physical and occupational therapists, and psychologists from the UAMS Behavioral Medicine Department. This team provides continuity of care for all transplants, both autologous and allogeneic (related and unrelated) through treatment protocols to more than 800 transplants annually. The outpatient unit (C7) is an integral part of the total treatment program also providing admission work ups. A collaborative effort between inpatient and outpatient units assists with the continuity of care, and decreases anxiety that is often associated with outpatient care.
