title: Role of the social worker and the transplant center QAPI committee.
abstract: Transplant social workers are actively involved with transplant center QAPI, evaluating the psychosocial factors involved in-patient and living donor candidacy, selection, and short and long term outcomes. This involves working closely with the other mental health and medical members of the transplant team and QAPI committee. It is important for transplant centers to incorporate psychosocial factors into evaluation of transplant patient and graft survival outcomes.
