Questions arise for patients, caregivers, and hemophilia treatment center (HTC) staff about how to assess and incorporate novel therapies and how to determine whether new therapies offer a distinct advantage over established treatment routines. Nurses and other interdisciplinary HTC staff are well positioned to assess, educate, and support patients and families in navigating this rapidly changing landscape. To support these challenging efforts, this review offers a perspective on issues affecting therapeutic transitions and provides tools to foster ongoing adherence.
