The duties/responsibilities to accomplish this include, but are not limited to, the following: Upon a candidate's initial referral / contact with the Transplant Program, and prior to the Living Donor Coordinator initiating the donor evaluation process, the ILDA will contact the potential donor, introduce him or herself, explain their role and briefly describe the donor evaluation process so that the potential donor understands what to expect and can ask any preliminary questions before proceeding. The ILDA documents their notes from this and all future interactions with the donor in the transplant program record. On the day of the initial evaluation appointment, the ILDA will actively participate in the evaluation and informed consent process with the Living Donor Coordinator and the prospective donor. The ILDA will then meet in person with the potential donor to further discuss areas of informed consent, including risks, and the donor's motivation to donate a kidney to ensure that there are no concerns regarding coercion. They will review the voluntary nature of living kidney donation with the potential donor and will assess the donor's understanding of the information provided. The ILDA will ensure that a comprehensive psychosocial evaluation of the donor candidate has been done by a licensed mental health professional on behalf of the transplant team. During the evaluation process, the ILDA maintains on-going communication with the Living Donor Coordinator and will discuss any concerns or issues with the donor team. They will contribute to the transplant team's assessment of the potential donor by providing information about the donor's understanding of donation and making known any reservations the donor may have about proceeding with evaluation or donation for transplant. The ILDA will also review the donor's right to confidentially opt out at any time. Once the donor candidate is cleared for donation and a surgery date is being scheduled, the ILDA will check in on how they are feeling about their decision to donate a kidney and the workup process. The ILDA will confirm that all the information needed to make the decision to donate has been provided, that the donor has considered the risks in a thoughtful way and has a supportive social network.

The ILDA will be available to the donor throughout the recovery process. They will call the donor at 6 weeks post- hospitalization discharge to check in on how the donor is feeling about their decision to donate a kidney (emotional/psychological status check). If questions or concerns are raised by the donor at any point in the follow up, they will respond in a timely and proactive way to resolve the situation and/or communicate the information to the transplant team. The ILDA will attend the bi-weekly transplant multidisciplinary Living Donor Committee meetings and provide information, input and note concerns, if any, regarding any potential or past donors.
