For a patient to receive an organ transplant they must go through an evaluation at a transplant center. A committee comprising transplant care team members decide who qualifies for transplant. Patients or their care givers are not included in these meetings. This project seeks to explore whether including patients in selection meetings improves transparency, trustworthiness, and fairness of the transplant evaluation process among patients.
