Psychosocial considerations in pediatric heart transplantation: Initial validation of the Pediatric Psychosocial Assessment Tool at a single center
The PPAT holds promise as a valid, reliable, and clinically useful instrument for guiding MRB discussions and targeting interventions to support high-risk families. Future directions include expanding implementation to other centers and integrating the PPAT into digital platforms using artificial intelligence and natural language processing to enhance efficiency, consistency, and patient-centered care.
