Kidney Transplant.
The Emily Center at Phoenix Childrens Hospital presents Our JourneyTM with a Kidney Transplant as a tool to help families of children needing a kidney transplant identify what they need to know to safely care for their child at home after being discharged from the hospital. Parts of this app may also be applied to a clinic or emergency room visit.
When a child is in the hospital, parents can be overwhelmed by nurses and doctors speaking medical jargon. Sometimes health care providers think they are clearly communicating, but do not check to make sure you understand their instructions. If you are able to teach back the information in your own words, you can be confident you do understand.
