Responses to a Survey on the Perceived Barriers to Effective Discharge Planning in Renal Transplant Recipients.
This process improvement project identified variables that interfere with a patient's timely discharge after a kidney transplant. Expert transplant clinicians employed by 10 large transplant centers were surveyed regarding variables that contribute most to an extended length of stay. Although statistically significant results were not obtained, some important clinical trends were apparent.
