Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a telemedicine follow-up visit at the NYU Langone Transplant Institute is a feasible and acceptable alternative to a traditional in-center follow-up visit.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Waiting time
The study is powered to evaluate wait time for the next transplant clinic appointment, abstracted from the patient's electronic record at the conclusion of the study.
4 Months
Missed visits
Using the medical record, researchers will capture the frequency of no-shows, cancellations, and rescheduled visits. At the 4-month time point, researchers will interview patients to collect qualitative data regarding the reasons for missed or rescheduled appointments. They will also collect data regarding the frequency with which TM visits result in transplant coordinator requests for an additional in-person appointment in order to conduct a physical assessment.
4 Months
Cost
Researchers will estimate cost of UC and TM in terms of costs borne by the patient (transportation, childcare, missed employment time, missed leisure) using an investigator-developed instrument. They will estimate health care service delivery costs using standard accounting methods to estimate facility costs, wage and fringe rates for staff involved in care (including receptionist, nurse, TM staff), and technology costs (including the iPads, data plans, maintenance and replacement costs).
