Cord blood units are only collected at hospitals / facilities accredited by a program
approved by the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Hospitals are required
to have a collaborative agreement with WellSky.
To become part of the Cord Blood Program at WellSky, the hospital has to have commitment
(by-in) from all involved with the education and care of expectant parents at the
hospital. The agreement of Senior Management to participate in the program is also
needed. By having the commitment of all involved at the hospital, will assist the
program to have a huge impact not only with the patients that these samples can
help but with the expectant parents who donated them.
Prior to beginning collection at your facility, the following steps are required:
- Meetings to discuss program
- Agreement with WellSky
- Development of facility policies and procedures on Cord Blood Donation
- Inservice/training for hospital staff
