Donation & Transplant

GRAFT · Guiding Readiness, Access & Fairness in Transplantation

Keeping transplant possible when support is the barrier.

GRAFT builds on transplant-access efforts already underway, helping transplant programs put existing and emerging approaches into action, so modifiable caregiver and social-support barriers don't stop patients from completing transplant evaluation.

Objective
Keep modifiable caregiver and social-support barriers from ending a patient's path to transplant.

What it involves

Awareness campaigns and Implementation Support Programs.

Under GRAFT, awareness campaigns galvanize the community around what's changing in care, and Implementation Support Programs find what works and scale it rapidly.

Know a gap we should test?Identify a gap

Campaigns are sponsored: sponsors fund reach and content, never conclusions. Implementation Support Programs are sponsored separately and follow a defined protocol. Sponsors may help identify implementation challenges, populations or outcomes of interest. Design, governance and evaluation stay independent. How we stay independent

Bring GRAFT to your patients or workforce. We start with a 30-minute discovery call to define one gap, your population and a baseline.

  • Implementation activities funded under written agreements, never tied to product selection or volume
  • Live in as little as four weeks
  • A defined protocol and measures set up front
  • Results you can share with your patients and board
