The Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) was founded in 1995 to promote quality patient care and laboratory practice in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) through its program of professional standards and voluntary accreditation for the procurement, processing, and transplantation of hematopoietic cell products. This chapter describes the FACT Standards and Inspection and Accreditation Program.
