After a semester-long process of brainstorming and researching ways to reduce the post-operative length of stay of pediatric liver transplant patients, my team decided to create educational videos for patient’s caretakers. These videos aim to teach caretakers several important points on taking care of their child after transplant surgery. Generally, physicians are tasked with relaying this information to caretakers, so introducing these educational videos will allow physicians to focus on other discharge tasks and hopefully reduce the length of stay. Additionally, since caretakers have unlimited access to the videos, they can refer back at any time to make sure they are caring for their child properly, reducing the risk of liver rejection. In the following infographic, I outlined the process through which we produced our educational videos.
