The transition from hospital to home following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation increases the vulnerability for treatment challenges in patients, often resulting in unscheduled and costly hospital re-admissions. Two Acute Leukemia/ Bone Marrow Transplant Day/Night (ALBMT) inpatient beds were established in 2011 at one tertiary care hospital to support successful transition from inpatient cancer treatment to home. This pilot study aimed to investigate patient satisfaction feedback on information provision, treatment, and emotional support on this care innovation. Fourteen former unit patients participated. Survey responses indicated positive satisfaction for treatment and emotional support, and opportunities for information provision enhancement. Findings of this preliminary study exploring satisfaction of this novel inpatient initiative provide important insights into the patient experience, informing future research and practice.
