  9. Functions of the Registry • Documented donor information • An up-to-date listing of registered organ and tissue donor patients including their donation intentions available to ODO physicians and nurses • An external web application that provides static pages to educate the public and guide them towards the online registration form.

  10. Building a Registry • Technology issues: • encryption of the information as it is transported over the Internet and throughout the solution • Create a service that could withstand a great amount of traffic • Anticipate what could happen to other services like eChart Manitoba that use the same Internet connection?

  19. Do You have the Resources to Support a Website? • What happens when the site goes down? • Can your server handle the traffic? • Who answers the phone calls and emails from the public? • Can you offer support in French? Other languages? • Do you have the budget to maintain the site and keep it relevant?

  20. Social media uplifting or let down? • Facebook consistently a top referrer to the site • Helped to spread awareness with no funds invested • Used to get word out when we were trying to reach milestone number • Did eventually wind down • Facebook Organ Donor Status tool has not yielded the same push in numbers in Canada as it has in the US
