Markets: Audience Insights Healthcare providersPCPs, OB-GYN, Nurses Healthcare providers can play an integral role in increasing the number of organ donors • It is clear that promoting organ donation and altruistic behavior while encouraging action that is consistent with the patient’s worldview is an integral part of health promotion. • Ambulatory setting may be particularly well suited for discussions about organ donation because people under the age of 50, who comprise over a third of deceased organ donors, utilize ambulatory services at disproportionately high rates.* • *Thornton et al. Two factors underlie the organ shortage: a limited pool of eligible donors and difficulty converting eligible donors into actual donors. 6
Markets: Audience Insights There is tremendous opportunity to engage tens of thousands of HH and HHC employees and their families and friends to become donors and to advocate for organ donation Internal audiencesHospital and health system employees and their families and friends • Can help dispel some of the myths surrounding organ donation and hospitals such as “ If I am an organ donor, the hospital staff won’t work as hard to save my life so that they can use my organs” • Opportunity to target these internal audiences to both register themselves for organ donation and help educate and motivate their family members and friends to do the same 7
