inception of the drug program. All participants in the continuum of care understand the complexities with the collection process, and appreciate the improvements resulting from the ECCF collection process. Electronic access to donor information, laboratory account information, and digital ECCF distribution—along with the electronic collection workflows—yield a better experience and improved quality. The electronic workflows guiding ECCF collection bring consistency to the process, and improve efficiencies, quality, and eliminate the need for paper CCF ordering and storage. These advantages make the collection simpler with reduce mistakes. ECCF systems should be embraced and implemented across the industry. ❚
