Six illustrative AI-generated scenes
01 / A clear pathAsk. Refer. Evaluate. Follow up.
Know the stage.
Still neon
Each stage has a different meaning, owner, and next question. HRSA: The transplant process explains the process.
Express interest, hesitation, or a need for more information.
Discuss preferences and name barriers or concerns.
Connect with a transplant program for consideration.
Send a referral or contact a program, then confirm receipt.
Complete the program’s assessment and requested tasks.
Schedule visits, complete named tasks, and resolve barriers with the responsible teams.
Receive and understand the program’s decision or request for more work.
Confirm status, ask what remains, and discuss appropriate options with the program.
If listed, stay reachable and complete program requirements.
Keep contact information current and complete follow-up requirements.
Prepare for surgery and continue lifelong transplant-team follow-up.
Follow the discharge plan, attend follow-up, and take medicines as prescribed.
02 / For dialysis teamsEducation. Referral. Follow-up.
Close the loop.
Still neon
A proposed workflow names the stage, records interest or a barrier, confirms the receiving program’s response, and makes follow-up visible. It supports care-team work; the facility remains responsible for clinical judgment, documentation, reporting, and care.
Review the proposed workflowExplain options without steering.
Make room for transplant, home dialysis, in-center dialysis, and conservative care questions.
Make the handoff specific.
Record who will ask, who can answer, and when the team will check back.
Understand what CMS measures.
PPPW and patient-experience topics are measures with specifications, not product scores.
Leading indicators
See whether the workflow is moving.
Track process signals that a team can act on:
- education documented and patient interest, hesitation, or barriers captured
- referral sent and receipt confirmed
- evaluation tasks named, scheduled, and followed up
- status and next owner confirmed at each handoff
These are workflow measures for review and improvement. They are not a CMS score, a CMS guarantee, or a clinical outcome promise.
03 / Evidence and limitsSource-backed, beta status
Useful, with limits.
Still neon
CMS does not publish one universal dialysis score. The ESRD QIP, PPPW, Care Compare quality star, and patient-survey star are distinct. Alignment with a measure does not prove a score, listing decision, or patient outcome. CMS ESRD QIP · CMS ESRD clinic services
Patients & caregivers01
Know your options and what happens next.
Use the patient guide to prepare questions. Your transplant program confirms eligibility, evaluation requirements, and listing status.

Bring a question list into the room.
Choose prompts and print them. This beta site does not store health information or manage referrals.

04 / About Transplant CheckIn beta
People first.
Still neon
Transplant Check is a Mental Wealth Solutions project being developed around kidney transplant engagement and kidney-care navigation.
Read the educational pages, bring questions to your care team, and treat every status as something the responsible program must confirm.
