Please join us for a one-day conference designed to share and teach “best practices” in communication, education, process management, use of data and much more.

Hospital Engagement:
Hospital Engagement staff maintain a close, collaborative relationship with hospitals to help define, shape, and guide their roles in the donation process while developing consistency in the mission.

Family Services:
Family Services requires effective communication and family care skills to support families and partner with hospital staff to preserve the donation opportunity. 

Referral Optimization:
 All Teach All Learn discussion on driving referral management and response to improve authorization rates and overall organ/tissue conversation.


Family Aftercare:
Donor families are important to the donation process. Aftercare is usually an 18 month program that  includes honoring loved ones, providing comfort care, grief support/resources, and connecting families with recipients. Join us to identify best practices in all these areas and community education ideas.
