This webinar will highlight the special relationship that one Tissue Recovery Agency has with their local Non-Anatomical Donation Organization to support all facets of donation outcomes: from tissue donation for transplant to research and medical education. We will discuss best practices in educating and caring for donor families through this process and highlight ways these two types of organizations can share donor information to maximize the gift of donation and leave donor families with the comfort that their loved one will leave a lasting legacy.

This webinar will delve into strategies for identifying employee morale issues and how these can hinder performance and employee retention and discuss how two NADOs approached their problems including starting employee engagement committees, how they were effective, and lessons learned to improve upon future opportunities.

This webinar will highlight the many ways that non-transplant anatomical donations can also be lifesaving. We will delve into how they train future clinicians to prevent surgical error and medical complications, and how they are used to train transplant recovery teams, as well as transplant physicians performing life-saving operations. We will also discuss how research using these tissues results in earlier disease detection and improved treatments, and immediate application for emergency medicine professionals to save persons suffering from life-threatening injuries. The presentation includes videos and testimonials from the clinicians using these amazing gifts.

This webinar will detail the relationships between NADOs and Tissue Banks, including referring cases to one another in case of deferral or sharing cases and where the organizations differ in terms of criteria for exclusion, inclusion, and deferrals. It will also detail what each organization type needs from the other to share cases effectively. In addition, the importance of communication and ease of sharing pertinent data such as DRAI and infectious disease testing to avoid duplicate testing and unnecessary burden on donor families will be discussed. Furthermore, examples of positive NADO and OPO/ Tissue Bank relationships and the benefits of the shared donations will be presented.

This webinar will discuss several pertinent conditions for which nontransplant anatomic donation organizations screen, such as tuberculosis, CJD, radiation exposure, and other relevant diseases. This talk will also include information on collecting data from families and the donors themselves, where possible, as well as interpreting required details from available medical records to ensure the safety of our staff and the researchers and clinicians who will work with these gifts.

This talk will discuss the current NADO standards for hemodilution, and strategies for screening cases through donor and family services staff. It will also review how and from whom essential decision-making information should be obtained. It will also delve into how quality and technical staff can be trained to review appropriate medical records and some considerations regarding these. Available calculation methods will be briefly described. Finally, it will review the process for distribution decisions, such as the possibility of placement and to whom, and the exceptional release process.

This talk will address how non-transplant anatomic donation organizations, or NADOs, perform visual inspections of their donors to confirm donor identity and review signs of risk factors for contagious disease, but mostly for determining appropriate tissue acquisitions for their current application needs. Examples of findings documented for NADO physical assessments will be discussed, along with deciding factors for NADO tissue applications. Some experienced indications of where to focus assessments and documentation strategies will also be discussed and the importance of thorough training of staff, quality checks, and review.

In this session, we will review similarities and differences between two segments of the non-transplant donation field. Our speakers, Gina Dunne Smith and Corinne Bell, will discuss how transplant and non-transplant donation organizations can work together to extend the reach of donation through ground-breaking research, hands-on training for surgeons, and much more.
