Importance of HTC Involvement

• The HTC model represents family-centered, comprehensive care delivered by an on-site multidisciplinary team that is dedicated and knowledgeable regarding the management of hemophilia
• The multidisciplinary team is integral to the center, and the ease of coordinating care between providers is enhanced within the HTC model, but teams also work closely with local health care providers to further coordinate care outside of the center
• The impact of these interventions on clinical outcomes have been documented:
  

  –	Among approximately 3,000 patients followed over 3 years, the relative risk of mortality was 70% lower and the relative risk of hospitalization was 40% lower among patients treated in an HTC

• Even patients with mild disease stand to benefit from the provision of an individualized treatment plan and a focus on preventive medicine
