As transplant centers seek to increase organ recovery, optimize utilization, and support the growing demands of multi-organ transplantation, new operational approaches are emerging to improve efficiency and outcomes. This webinar will highlight real-world experiences and lessons learned in implementing these approaches, with consideration of their impact on volume, utilization, outcomes, and surgeon workload. Our panel will also discuss the financial and logistical considerations associated with introducing new technologies and operational models, strategies for securing hospital leadership support, and opportunities to strengthen collaboration with OPOs.
Identify key clinical, operational, and logistical considerations when implementing new organ recovery technologies, devices, or workflows.
Evaluate the potential impact of alternative recovery models and technologies on volume, utilization, clinical outcomes, and surgeon workload.
Discuss relevant considerations related to resource allocation when developing and trying to sustain new organ recovery programs and technologies
