The Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act of 2005, Public Law (Pub. L.) 109â129, as
amended by the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Reauthorization Act of 2015, Public
Law 114-104 (the Act), provides for the collection and maintenance of human blood stem
cells for the treatment of patients and research. HRSAâs Healthcare Systems Bureau has
established the Stem Cell Therapeutic Outcomes Database, and the operation of this database
necessitates certain record keeping and reporting requirements in order to perform the
functions related to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation under contract to the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The Act requires the Secretary to
contract for the establishment and maintenance of information related to patients who have
received stem cell therapeutic products and to do so using a standardized, electronic format.
Data is collected from transplant centers and is used for ongoing analysis of transplant outcomes. HRSA uses the information in order to carry out its statutory responsibilities, including providing the Secretary of HHS with an annual report of transplant center-specific survival data.
