As we begin Day 2 of the 2022 National Critical Issues Forum, The Alliance is pleased to share highlights of five of our Day 1 sessions dedicated to exploring the regulatory shifts, economic challenges, staffing pressures, and need to incorporate novel technical innovations into organ donation and transplantation practices. The program is intended to provide participants with the necessary skills to turn challenges into opportunities and adverse or challenging environments into performance improvement endeavors
During these presentations, we invited a live sketch artist to capture the conversations. These hand-drawn graphical renderings capture the discussions about these compelling topics and provided a fun and innovative way to share the energy and ideas that emerged from the presenters.
