Policy/Procedures related to gene/vector therapies

With the approval of several new gene/vector therapies and many more on the horizon, our institution is planning to develop policies and procedures to standardize our approach to storage, preparation, administration, decontamination, and disposal of gene/vector therapies.

Does your institution have standardized policies or procedures in place related to gene/vector therapies that you could share? For institutions utilizing Epic EMR, do you utilize any Epic functionality in the EMR to alert staff that a patient is receiving or has received gene/vector therapy?

Current agents we are giving: BCG, Zolgensma and Adstiladrin
