To assess compliance with FACT standard B9, the FACT-CIBMTR Data Audit Committee reviews a program’s most recent CIBMTR data audit results including implementation of the corrective action plan (CAP), adequacy of the CAP, and effectiveness of CAP. The committee’s goal is to provide education and assistance to programs throughout the accreditation cycle to achieve quality improvement in data management. At the time of accreditation renewal, the FACT Accreditation Committee assesses the completeness and accuracy of a program’s data management based on the clinical inspector’s report and the report of the FACT-CIBMTR Data Audit Committee.

To assist programs, the FACT-CIBMTR Data Audit Committee developed a Data Management Resources Center. This center contains CIBMTR resources, FACT educational resources, guidelines for data management submissions, templates, and examples.
