Evaluation of a Patient Navigation System to Reduce Time to Waitlisting for Potential Kidney Transplant Recipients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: End-Stage Renal Disease

In brief

The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of introducing a patient navigator to guide high and moderate risk patients through the pre-waitlisting phases of the kidney transplant process. Patients identified as being at high and moderate risk of delay to waitlisting will be linked with a patient navigator, who will facilitate their completion of pre-waitlisting requirements. We believe that patients who are randomized to a patient navigator will be more likely to complete the pre-waitlisting process and will complete the process more quickly than high and moderate risk patients who do not receive additional assistance from a patient navigator.
