Organ Donation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Implementation of Donation Advisor, a Personalized Clinical Decision Support Tool for Improved Efficiency and Effectiveness of Deceased Organ Donation and Transplantation
Every year, thousands of Canadians receive life-saving, cost-effective organ transplants, while thousands more still wait or die because not enough organs are available. Patients with non-recoverable illnesses, who are undergoing withdrawal of life sustaining measures, can donate their organs when they die by a process called donation after circulatory determined death (DCD). However, over 30% of all DCD attempts are unsuccessful because patients do not die within the time frame required for healthy organ retrieval and prolonged exposure to low oxygen during the dying process renders organs unsuitable for transplantation. Predicting successful DCD is difficult and leads to uncertainty in the clinical community. To address this issue, the investigators have developed a clinical decision support tool called Donation Advisor (DA) that will assist the healthcare team in identifying successful DCD donors and will provide an improved assessment of the health of their organs. The investigators are ready to implement DA and evaluate its impact in 7 hospitals in Ontario. The investigators believe use of DA will reduce unsuccessful DCD attempts, enhance family experience of donation, optimize system costs, and improve transplant outcomes
