For children to have safe transitions from the hospital to home, inpatient physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, should use a standardized discharge process that focuses on thorough discharge planning, multidisciplinary teamwork, communication, and effective hand-offs of care. Using quality improvement science will help physicians analyze and improve their discharge process and ensure safe discharges.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a biosafety cabinet equipped with an ozone generator, particularly during the transition periods between the production of cell products. As living cell products cannot undergo sterilization, maintaining an aseptic manufacturing environment is paramount. Raw materials, often derived from human tissues, are frequently contaminated with various resident bacteria, necessitating environmental resets after each process.
