    AbstractA Care Multidisciplinary Action Plan was developed at a 300-bed rural medical center in 1994. Once a potential organ donor is identified and referred to the organ procurement organization and the family has consented to donation, the ICU nurse initiates the Care Multidisciplinary Action Plan, which is based on an 8-hour time frame for ICU care that may be adjusted as needed. The first hour includes prompts for coroner notification, billing changes, and completion of hospital-specific death notice forms. The remaining hours are spent administering tests and preparing the donor for organ retrieval. Collaborative issues such as donor family support also are addressed. ICU nurses who used the donor care Multidisciplinary Action Plan were interviewed to determine its effectiveness.
