Abstract:
Education after a liver transplant can be an overwhelming experience for transplant recipients. Clinical nurse specialist graduate students with the assistance of the liver transplant clinical nurse specialist at the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center developed a multidisciplinary tool for documenting posttransplant education. By creating 1 central document in which all disciplines provide evidence of posttransplant education, all members of the healthcare team are afforded an efficient system for tracking progress in patients' education and for eliminating duplicative teaching.
