Direct Measurement of DCD Donor Potential
OPO donor potential calculated from referral and hospital death record reviews is substantially lower than donor potential determined by administrative data, validating the need for direct measurement for regulatory purposes and performance improvement. For a usable direct measure of donor potential, DCD donor criteria must be codified, electronic donor records optimized, and audit processes developed.
