The workflow included early prior authorization, home healthcare (HH) partnerships, and standardized procedures for outpatient management. Clinical and logistical data were prospectively collected from August 2024 to August 2025.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Since initiation, 50 patients aged 1\u201323\u00a0years have received blinatumomab. Patients resided within five states across the Intermountain West, with distances to the treating hospital ranging from 4.8 to 640\u00a0miles (mean 109\u00a0miles). Thirty patients (60%) lived within 50\u00a0miles of the treating institution, four (8%) lived 50\u2013100\u00a0miles away, and 16 (32%) resided more than 100\u00a0miles away. All patients were able to receive blinatumomab outpatient, with 96% of patients able to receive services locally for the majority of the infusion period. Ninety\u2010eight percent of patients used HH for outpatient drug delivery and\/or nursing care. Our workflow standardized agency responsibilities, bag change frequency, and emergency contact protocols. This model limited inpatient stays to 24\u201348\u00a0h for most patients, expanded access across a large geographic area, and decreased travel burden.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Outpatient blinatumomab administration is feasible, safe, and resource\u2010efficient when supported by a structured care coordination framework. Partnerships with HH providers, proactive insurance authorization, and standardized troubleshooting protocols are critical for success.
