Patients who receive an allogeneic HSCT report feeling inadequately equipped to manage their postdischarge plan of care. It is essential that interdisciplinary team members prepare HSCT patients with the education needed in order to deal with the overwhelming care needs involved during and after hospital discharge.

Checklists provide an ideal way to comply with standards of evidence-based care and promote good communication among interdisciplinary team members.
