Progress of team medicine by multi-occupation

Abstract

The number of Japanese kidney transplant surgery and the number of transplant visiting outpatient will increase. For maintaining and further improving the current good results of Japan’s renal transplantation, multi-occupational collaboration is indispensable. Particularly, it is necessary to strengthen cooperation among multi-occupation types, centering on recipient transplant coordinator. In addition, it is important to actively incorporate administrative dietitians and clinical psychotherapists who are not adequately entered into transplant medical care into the follow-up regime.
