Home Blood Transfusions for Blood Cancers and Bone Marrow Failure
This study is testing if giving blood transfusions at home is practical and acceptable for people with blood cancers (hematologic malignancy), bone marrow problems (myelodysplastic syndromes), or acute myeloid leukemia who need regular transfusions. You would receive red blood cells and platelets at home. The study wants to see if this home transfusion program works well and if patients like it. It's a small study planning to include 30 participants, and the current recruitment status is unclear. You could be eligible if you are over 18, need regular blood transfusions, and are willing to follow study procedures.

What this trial measures
- Feasibility of a home blood transfusion program utilizing the RE-AIM framework5 weeks
The feasibility of the program defined as greater than 80% of home blood product transfusions occur as planned.
- Acceptability of a home blood transfusion program utilizing the RE-AIM framework5 weeks
Surveys and qualitative interviews will be completed to better understand acceptability of the program. Acceptability will be measured using the acceptability of intervention measure. Based on a 5-point Likert scale. Score range: 1 (Completely Disagree) to 5 (Completely Agree)
