Organ and Tissue Donation – 2013 and Beyond Teresa Shafer, RN, MSN, CPTC Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer

Organ Donation System and Process
Click to edit Master subtitle style Currently… Types of donation Organ – Heart, Lung, Liver, Pancreas, Kidney, Intestine Tissue – Bone, Ligaments, Tendons, Saphenous Veins, Heart Valves, Skin Corneas/Eyes Types of donors Brain-dead, heart-beating Non-heart-beating (Donation after Cardiac Death, DCD) Living, related or unrelated
Click to edit Master subtitle style Pathways to Donation BRAIN DEATH Patient maintained on ventilator, heart beating Potential organ & tissue donor Tissue recovery follows organ donation DCD Family initiates withdrawal of care Patient likely to arrest within 60 minutes of extubation CARDIAC DEATH Patient has no cardiac or respiratory activity. Potential tissue donor Body must be kept cool before tissues are recovered. Recovery is within 24 hours of death
Click to edit Master subtitle style Currently… Roughly 28,500 organs transplanted yearly in U.S. (22,000 from deceased donors, 6,500 from living donors) Approximately 750,000 tissues transplanted yearly in U.S. Approximately 45,000 corneas transplanted yearly in U.S.
Current Challenges
Click to edit Master subtitle style Major Challenges Limited supply of brain dead organ donors (estimated 12,000 nationally per year) Demand for transplants growing faster than supply of organs Early deceleration of care, DNI, DNR, improved trauma care, etc shrinking number of potential brain dead organ donors Aging population means more “extended criteria” organs

Every Organ Every Time……. Where is the Case for OPO Volume? And what happens to OTPD, if we do make that case? Teresa Shafer, RN, MSN, CPTC Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer
Click to edit Master subtitle style Single Organ Donors – a match for a single recipient…. The decision as to whether or not to recover a single organ from a single donor should not be driven by its effect on OPO OTPD. The decision as to whether or not to recover a single organ from a single donor should not be driven by financial consideration.

Click to edit Master subtitle style Eligible Donors do not represent the donor pool Conversion rate with reported eligibles as denominator are not reliable inter-OPO (between OPOs) performance comparison metric. Conversion rate intra-OPO (within OPO) are useful to that OPO to observe current conversion rate against historical conversion rates, given that the OPO did not change its own definitions or measurement strategies. Reported Eligibles do not represent the U.S. donor pool, but we behave as if they do…… While there are other problems with the eligible definition, the first step in the wrong direction was excluding donors from the pool who were not officially pronounced dead…..
Click to edit Master subtitle style An Unsustainable Trend & a need for Renewed Focus 25% increase in organ donors 52% increase in conversion rate Conversion Rate Organ Donors This is the trend that is not sustainable,- for our patients or for our credibility…….. We can’t transplant conversion rate, we can only transplant organs, and sadly, a volume metric is missing from the CMS Outcome Measures. You get more of what you measure…….and there is no volume metric in the CMS outcome measures…….

Click to edit Master subtitle style OPPORTUNITY COST There is opportunity cost but there is great potential in recovering non-traditional donors. Everyone should have the opportunity to donate. Every withdrawal of life support and ventilatory support should be evaluated and given the opportunity to donate. Presumptive – presume death will occur in time frame suitable for donation. POTENTIAL – NON TRADITIONAL DONORS
