The proposed study seeks to adapt and enhance sustainability of proven educational and quality improvement interventions to target multiple health systems– dialysis facilities and transplant centers – as well as clinical staff and patients in the Southeastern United States to target the policies, practices, and structures of these health systems that pose barriers to underrepresented minorities with end-stage kidney failure seeking a kidney transplant. If successful, interventions could be adapted and scaled nationally, where our health system partners are committed to transplant equity.
