Social Determinants of Health in Pediatric Liver Transplantation: Challenges and Opportunities

Overview

Social determinants of health are potentially modifiable risk factors that can negatively affect outcomes for pediatric liver transplant recipients.

Different pediatric transplant centers may face different challenges regarding identifying high risk patients and connecting them with the appropriate resources. This webinar aims to inform the transplant community about the known impact of social determinants of health on pediatric liver transplant outcomes, discuss practical and efficient screening tools to identify liver transplant recipients at-risk for non-optimal outcomes and connect them with the appropriate resources. The webinar also discusses barriers in implementation and opportunities for improvement.

Learning Objectives

  1. Identify social determinants of health (SDoH)and their impact on the pediatric liver transplant outcome
  2. Understand how to screen patients with high-risk social situations and implement interventions to improve graft and patient survival
  3. Recognize the challenges in the implementation of social intervention measures in at-risk population and opportunities for improvement
