To ensure high-quality care for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), it is imperative that providers and SCD care leaders have the tools to establish comprehensive clinical care centers for patients with SCD. Over the last several years, ASH has developed a program and blueprint for the creation of sickle cell disease centers. This special interest session is designed to help sickle cell disease care centers understand the development of CMS quality metrics and how to leverage these metrics to support delivery of high-quality care.
