The Gold Standard
The article “Integrated Hemophilia Patient Care via a National Network of Care Centers in the United States: A Model for Rare Coagulation Disorders” describes “what HTCs do and how they do it through a team-based, multidisciplinary approach that incorporates the affected person in shared decision making. Individuals treated at HTCs are highly satisfied and have presented evidence for why this model of care has been and will remain the gold standard in the United States.“
