  3. 3 Campaign Goals • Reinforce the hospital’s mission to serve the community and advance health care in Connecticut and the region • Register 1,000 new organ donors by Jan. 31, 2013 • Motivate HH and HHC employees to register to become organ donors and to motivate their friends and families to do the same • Educate consumers and providers on the critical need for organ donation and motivate them to become organ donors and to advocate for organ donation 3

  4. 1,000new donors Markets: Our Top Three Audiences Our Staff,including Hartford Hospital and Hartford HealthCare employees Consumers and Community Members, who may not be aware of the need for donors or have been influenced by the inaccurate myths and misconceptions surrounding organ and tissue donation Healthcare providers,including physicians, nurses and mid-level who can help educate on the value and importance of organ donation 4

  5. Markets: Audience Insights Opportunity in Connecticut • Connecticut’s donor designation share of individuals 18 and older is only 39% (50% is Donate Life’s goal for each state) • Roughly 20 percent of people over the age of 65 mistakenly think they are too old to donate an organ, while nearly 12 percent believe they are too old to receive one *** • Our goal is to raise awareness of the critical need for organ donors and help dispel myths regarding organ donation 42.7% 53.3% 39% 61% • * Donate Life America, National Donor Designation Report Card 2012 **International Journal of Health Services, Volume 38, Number 4, Pages 641–652, 2008 Insurance Status of U.S. Organ Donors and Transplant Recipients: The Uninsured Give, But Rarely Receive Herring, Woolhandler, and Himmelstein ***National Survey of Organ and Tissue Donation Attitudes and Behaviors, conducted by The Gallup Organization, 2005 5

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8.

Hartford Hospital honors donors through flag raisings and more LIFE SAVER: Doug ZimmermanDoug Zimmerman was a registered organ donor.
