FACT Accreditation Used as Criterion in Best Hospitals List

Posted in :: 2019 Volume 8 :: Thursday, August 29th, 2019

U.S. News and World Report released its 2019-2020 Best Hospitals List, and FACT accreditation was again used as a ranking criterion for the cancer specialty. Since 2007, accredited programs receive a point value based on their accreditation.  One point was given if accreditation was only for autologous transplants, and two points were given if accreditation was for allogeneic transplants. All 50 hospitals with rankings in the cancer specialty have programs that are FACT-accredited. Congratulations to these programs!
