Building on the framework and success of the IVIg Rheumatology Program, the Neuromuscular Program was developed in 2012. The structure for the Neuromuscular Program was developed in consultation with a Provincial Neurology Taskforce. The program consists of guidance to support Transfusion Medicine screening of approved indications as well as centralized screening of possibly indicated, now referred to as conditionally approved, conditions after a short IVIg trial to determine effectiveness. With the expansion of the IVIg Neurology program to include Central Nervous System (CNS) conditions, the Neuromuscular Program was rebranded as the Neurology Program, where Neuromuscular conditions are now referred to as Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) conditions.
