Karolinska University Hospital's problem regarding the CAR-T cells' journey has been impacting thetreatment of patients and therefore a solution was in dire need to be presented. Visual mappingmethods have been used to review and map the journey with the aim of identifying factors that seemto be impacted. Previous research concerns user journey mapping, mapping methods andcollaboration theories. To carry out the mapping of the cells' journey, semi-structured interviews werecarried out with selected experts within the research area. These experts consisted of the unit managerat the apheresis clinic at Karolinska, a medically responsible researcher at the apheresis clinic atKarolinska and a senior patient operation manager at Bristol Myers Squibb. Their expertise andexperiences were the basis for the visual mapping, and this provided deep insights into the researcharea where the problem has been identified. Lastly, the data was mapped to create a visual map oftheir current management approach regarding CAR-T cell therapy where their experiences around theproblems could be identified. As a result, a solution to the identified factors that expose the cells tothe risks is presented with several visual maps and a proposed solution for a redesign withinKarolinska.
