This document discusses different models for collecting cord blood, including fully staffed collection sites, hybrid collections using both staff and OB providers, and kit collection programs using fixed kit collection sites or remote kit collections. Each model has advantages and disadvantages. Key requirements for any collection model include trained personnel to perform the collection, meeting all regulatory and quality standards, and processing and freezing the cord blood within 48 hours of collection. Donor eligibility and obtaining consent are also discussed. The success of a model can vary between hospital sites.
