AbstractMake sure your staff know whom to contact and when concerning organ donation. The right action at the right time can avoid potential liability and ensure optimal communications with family members at a time of heightened emotional sensitivity. Staff members should be aware of clinical triggers and the different donation options indicated by manner of death. Develop ongoing relationships with organ procurement agencies, and make sure your staff know the appropriate contact at each agency. Having an individual other than the caregiver approach the family will reduce risk of legal exposure.
