Use of an automated clinical management system improves outpatient immunosuppressive care following liver transplantation.

Objective: Immunosuppressive therapy following transplantation, if not managed well, can lead to increased drug toxicity or rejection episodes. We investigated whether use of an automated clinical management system in our liver transplant program would improve clinical outcomes in managing transplant recipients' immunosuppressive medications.

Design: We performed a retrospective cohort study of two patient groups receiving liver transplants at our institution.
