Summary
Specialist palliative care has been shown to be beneficial for patients experiencing serious illness, but has not been studied for patients being evaluated for liver transplantation. The investigators hope in the future to design a multi-center trial of a specialist palliative care intervention to measure the effects of specialist palliative care for patients undergoing liver transplant evaluation. This project represents a pilot to gather needed information to design such a future study.
