Barriers to pretransplant immunization: a qualitative interview study of pediatric solid organ transplant stakeholders.
Investigators described the experiences and beliefs of pediatric transplant stakeholders regarding factors that contribute to low pre-transplant immunization rates. Five central themes emerged: gaps in knowledge about timing and safety of pre-transplant immunizations; lack of communication, coordination, and follow-up between team members; lack of centralized immunization records; subspecialty clinics functioning as the medical home for transplant candidates, but not able to provide all needed immunizations; and differences between organ type in prioritization and completion of pre-transplant immunization. The authors recommended new tools to overcome these barriers and to increase immunization rates in transplant candidates.

Effects of a 1-time nurse-led telephone call after pediatric discharge: the H2O II randomized clinical trial.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a single nurse-led telephone call after pediatric discharge decreased the 30-day reutilization rate for urgent care services and enhanced overall transition success. The investigators concluded that although postdischarge nurse contact did not decrease the reutilization rate of postdischarge urgent health care services, the method showed promise to bolster postdischarge education.
