Development of a Standardized Bone Marrow Procedure Training and Competency Toolkit for Advanced Practice Providers...

Area of Science:

• Oncology
• Hematology
• Medical Education

Background:

• Bone marrow procedures are essential diagnostic tools in hematology/oncology.
• Current guidelines for advanced practice provider (APP) training in these procedures within community oncology are limited.
• Ensuring APP competency is vital for patient care quality.

Purpose of the Study:

• To address the lack of standardized training for APPs performing bone marrow procedures in community oncology.
• To develop a comprehensive, standardized educational and procedural toolkit for APPs.
• To promote consistent procedural proficiency and high-quality patient care.

Main Methods:

• Development of a comprehensive educational and procedural toolkit.
• Focus on standardization for advanced practice providers (APPs).
• Implementation in a community oncology practice setting.

Main Results:

• A standardized training toolkit was created for APPs.
• The toolkit aims to ensure procedural proficiency and consistency.
• Adoption of such toolkits supports high-quality patient care delivery.

Conclusions:

• Standardized toolkits are essential for training APPs in bone marrow procedures.
• These toolkits enhance procedural proficiency and consistency among providers.
• Community oncology practices benefit from standardized training for improved patient outcomes.
