  • Ensure hospitals adhere to best practices and regulatory requirements.

Relationship Building

  • Cultivate and maintain strong relationships with key hospital staff, including physicians, nurses, chaplains, social workers, respiratory therapists, and administrators.
  • Conduct regular on-site visits and activities at assigned hospitals, including night shifts, to maintain visibility and support donation efforts.
  • Identify and empower hospital "champions" to act as internal advocates and resources for donation processes.
  • Partner Education & Training

  • Prepare and deliver comprehensive and inspirational education programs on donation processes and regulations.
  • Provide real-time education during active donation cases to ensure staff understand their roles and the regulations governing family approaches.
  • Lead training on donation pathways, techniques, and best practices.
  • Data Analysis & Reporting

  • Gather, analyze, and report on hospital-specific donation metrics and outcomes.
  • Identify and communicate trends in referrals and donation results.
  • Present donation metrics, process improvement efforts, audit results, and other relevant information to hospital leadership.
  • Participate in post-donor reviews to refine and improve donation strategies.
  • Document all interactions and activities with hospital staff in donor / electronic systems (e.g., iTransplant) according to organizational standards.
  • Compliance, Quality, & Process Improvement

  • Recommend and implement improvements to departmental processes to enhance team effectiveness and reduce administrative burdens.
  • Share best practices between hospitals and organ procurement organizations (OPOs) to drive continuous improvement.
  • Conduct or assist with improvement projects, including formal PDSAs, to achieve donation goals and metrics.
  • Participate in onboarding and orientation of new team members to foster a culture of learning and excellence.
  • Ensure hospital partners comply with relevant regulations, including CMS indicators and accreditation standards.
  • Work with hospital-based committees to set goals, address donation process issues, and review donation activity.
  • Conduct follow-ups and corrective actions when process variances are identified.
  • Family Counseling

  • Maintain on-call availability to respond promptly (within one hour) to organ donor referrals from assigned hospitals.
  • Provide consistent support to families by addressing informational, physical, and emotional needs, clarifying clinical status, test results, and prognosis.
  • Assess families' understanding of the patient's prognosis and assist in end-of-life decisions.
  • Offer the option of organ / tissue donation, addressing benefits and misconceptions, as appropriate.
  • Confirm Donation after Cardiac Death (DCD) eligibility and family wishes for terminal withdrawal of treatment.
  • Obtain written authorization and complete the donor risk assessment interview (DRAI).
  • Educate the family on the donation process and facilitate their wishes, including presence during terminal withdrawal if authorized.
  • Support the family with closure rituals and preparation for hospital departure, regardless of donation decisions.
  • Maintain ongoing communication with the Clinical Services Coordinator (CSC) and Administrator on Call (AOC).
  • Document case specifics including family dynamics, healthcare team interactions, and environmental considerations.
  • Participate in internal and external case reviews for continual quality improvement.
  • Organ Referral & Donor Management

  • Respond promptly and appropriately to all donor referrals, local and import.
  • Maintain professional behavior and attitude toward hospital staff, physicians, peers, and directors.
  • Conduct on-site evaluations of potential organ donors.
  • Review hospital charts and current records of potential donors; document findings and follow-up plans.
  • Participate in medical rounds on assigned units.
  • Assist hospital staff and attending physicians with donor management as needed.
