Abstract

Organ transplantation is a complex intervention requiring collaboration across different healthcare sectors and institutions. The multidisciplinary approach not only includes trans-institutional and cross-sectoral care structures, but also integrates diverse specialist disciplines. However, problems at the interface between the different healthcare sectors can easily result in interruptions in treatment and a breakdown in information flows. Consequently, the goal of delivering continuous patient-centered care is hard to put into practice. In order to achieve better interdisciplinary cooperation in transplantation medicine, it is imperative to have a healthcare system with the integrated process chains and cross-sectoral and cross-professional structures needed to ensure the continuous flow of information between multidisciplinary teams.
