Description: The growing spread of misinformation, negative donation stories, and widening demographic gaps make strategic outreach more essential than ever. But what if you’re without a strategy, staff to lead it, or a clear starting point? In this webinar, our speakers will share how they created a new outreach position and turned an initial proposal into an effective and impactful role.

Target Audience: The target audience includes tissue donation professionals, program leaders, and organizational decision-makers interested in developing or expanding community outreach efforts. It is also ideal for outreach coordinators, communications staff, and teams in the early stages of building outreach programs who are seeking practical strategies and guidance.

Description: A subgroup of the Standards Committee has proposed extensive changes to standards related to distribution, tissue distribution intermediaries, and tissue distribution services. These Committee has endorsed these changes, and they will be presented for Council comment soon. Join this webinar to hear from the subgroup members about these changes and their rationales.

Target Audience: The target audience includes tissue bank professionals, quality and regulatory affairs personnel, and distribution specialists involved in tissue handling and compliance. It is also relevant for Standards Committee members, accreditation professionals, and others interested in upcoming changes to distribution-related standards and their implementation.

Description: From fake celebrity videos to sci-fi references, artificial intelligence (AI) remains a popular topic of ongoing discussion. AI systems are being used in nearly every industry, including organ, eye, and tissue donation. But how do these systems work, and what role do they play in maximizing the gift of donation? AI applications enhance donor referral and screening by identifying key areas needing further review and highlighting concerns that require human review. Parameters tailored to each program can detect out-of-range chart data and missing records and develop forecasting models to aid in allocating recovery efforts between various tissue processors. These tools allow donor program staff to focus their time on targeted reviews, find missing items, and make donor referral and screening more efficient.

This presentation will evaluate the indications for AI platforms in donor screening and referral management, examine use cases for various AI tools, and address data integrity and security. We will also review how integrated donor record and referral systems offer comprehensive resources for the donation and allied health fields.
