Conditions
Interventions
Health advocate
The health advocate is a trained individual who is not a part of the medical team. They work directly with the caregivers of patients who have received a liver transplantation to assist them with navigating the healthcare system, find resources, and relay any concerns to their medical team. They work with an assigned family for 90-days and tailor their intervention to meet the families social needs.
Enhanced Control
Caregivers in the control arm will receive enhanced standard of care: they will be given a handout with a list of resources specific to their hardship and their home ZIP code. They will receive a follow-up call at 45 days with a reminder of the suggested resources.
