  1. Breakout Session B:The Donation Process – The Continuum of Care Moderator: Cristian Nunez, OneLegacy Presenters: Marcia Penido, LCSW, Huntington Hospital Robert Coppel, OneLegacy Michelle Post, LMFT, OneLegacy

  2. Questions to Run On How can the hospital’s family support staff help guide the donation process? How can you help ensure a family is approached effectively and appropriately? What happens with a donor family AFTER an organ or tissue donation?

  3. But How Does this Relate to My Job? A Guide for the Hospital Social Worker & Chaplain Marcia Penido, LCSW, MPH Co-Chair, Organ & Tissue Donation Committee Huntington Hospital

  4. Objectives At the end of this presentation, the participant will be able to: • Understand their hospital’s donation policy (timely referrals, diligent search, administrative consent). • Understand how they can impact the momentum of a referral/donor case.

  5. Prompt the Referral • Know the clinical triggers for referring patients: • Loss of >1 brainstem reflex &/or • DNR & terminal extubation being considered • Ensure referral is on the radar of the MD/RN • Follow-up until referral is made

  6. Trigger Card

  7. Identify Patient/N.O.K. • Do you have a diligent search protocol? • Have you thought of everything? • Do you have a time limit set? • Legally-recognized decision-maker vs N.O.K. • Does your hospital allow administrative consent?

  8. Support the Support System • Prepare them for MD’s dx/px • Attend care conference(s) if possible • Validate their grief • Reinforce medical info, if needed • Assist with concrete issues/answers • Get spiritual care provider, if needed • Offset anger directed at hospital/healthcare team • Run interference vs. withdraw into the background

  9. Follow the Referral • Is the patient ruled in or out? • What did OL write? • What does the MD/RN know? • Does OL’s understanding match the MD’s? • DCD vs BD? • Map out the process for what will happen • Ensure unit staff understand & communicate in shift report

  10. Pave the Way for Approach • N.O.K. • Decision-maker(s) • Influencers • Saboteurs • MIAs • Careful responses if donation questions are asked • Observe/listen for family dynamics • Ask about documents/listen for clues as to patient’s wishes

  11. Huddle with the Team • Have a Team Huddle Worksheet on which to document collaboration/plan • Part of Medical Record • Huddle upon OL’s arrival • Huddle upon FCS’s arrival • Huddle prior to approach • Huddle whenever helpful (Did I mention you should huddle?)

  12. Follow after the Approach • Support family regardless of decision • Ensure they know their decision is not judged or rewarded • Answer questions • Provide referrals • Run interference with potential saboteurs • Observe/listen for information helpful to After Action Review & pass it onto Donor Council

  13. Learn, Learn, Learn • Review every case • Celebrate perfect collaboration • Learn from challenges & declines • Success is • an effective request • what the patient would have wanted or the N.O.K. needed to do

  14. Wait! There’s More for You to Do! • Do you have a Donor Council/Donation Committee? • Is your discipline/department represented? • Is the nursing unit where donors are referred represented? • Do you have a method for giving feedback after cases are identified? • Do you receive recognition when there’s a success or challenging case? • Do you celebrate donor families?

  15. Maximizing Outcomes… • Support….the family/support system • Diffuse…any distrust, misunderstandings, misperceptions, dissatisfaction • Follow closely…the process so that all policies are followed & opportunity for donation is being protected • Liaison…between medical staff & OL, ensuring collaboration

  16. What Factors Can Affect an Approach? Robert Coppel Family Care Specialist OneLegacy

  20. Positive Factors Affecting Consent • Hospital supports organ donation • Team huddles • Appropriate requestor • Family satisfied with quality of care and communication

  21. Positive Factors Affecting Consent • Reasonable time allowed with loved one • Understanding of brain death • MD coordinates end-of-life discussion

  22. What Happens Behind Closed Doors? • Has the doctor talked with you? • What did he/she tell you? • What does that mean to you?

  23. What Happens Behind Closed Doors? • Explain brain death, even if family understands. Keep in simple terms. • Discuss funeral arrangements. • Discuss coroner’s case and possible autopsy.
