Implementation of Geriatric Assessment in Transplantation and Cellular Therapy - View from the Front Line

The BTN CTN #1704 - CHARM study has been published and underscores the importance of using appropriate geriatric assessment (GA) tools to counsel and optimize care of older adults for allogeneic transplant. However, information on how to implement and operationalize GA tools in transplant cellular therapy clinical practice remains suboptimal. In this webinar, leading investigators and expert clinicians will discuss strategies for adopting GA in transplant clinical practices and identify areas for future research and quality improvement.

Learning objectives:

1. Understand how GA-deficits are prognostic for outcomes in transplantation and cellular therapy
2. Identify Barriers to implementing GA in the field
3. Understand which standardized, validated, and time-saving measures that are critical to adopting GA tools
