Abstract:
The role of the transplant coordinator is multifaceted and demanding, requiring advanced clinical skills in addition to patient management responsibilities. Although much is known about the clinical skills of these coordinators, there is virtually no information available about their management abilities. A comparison of the beliefs of transplant coordinators and transplant staff nurses confirms that the coordinators have the role expectations and communication styles to allow them to function effectively in managing patient care as well as in working with physicians and other health professionals.
