CELEBRATING OUR SUSTAINED SUCCESS • We have achieved and sustained a 75% conversion rate nationally • We continue to transplant more organs annually • We continue to engage more partners to save more lives • We have continued to increase organ recovery from donors following circulatory determination of death
Organs Transplanted Per Donor • Adults 3.09 • Pediatrics 4.06 • All donors 3.08 -DCDD donors-

Current State of Organ Donation & Transplantation • 120,188 people are currently on the national waiting list. • 16, 669 organ transplants have been performed from 8,215 donors*through July 2013 • 3,450 people have died waiting for a needed organ* • 2,973 people were removed from the waiting list because they became too sick to transplant* www.UNOS.org. Data obtained October 14, 2013 * Data through July 2013
Facts About the Current State of Organ Donation and Transplantation • 28,052 organ transplants from 14,013 donors were performed in 2012 • 16, 669 organ transplants have been performed from 8,215 donors* through July 2013 • 3,450 people died waiting for a needed organ* • 2,973 people were removed from the waiting list because they became too sick to transplant* • 2012: 46,000+ corneas transplanted www.UNOS.org. Data obtained October 14, 2013 * Data through July 2013
A National Issue That Continues to Escalate • October 23, 2012Growing transplant waiting list exceeding 112,000 • In 2011: • 7,370 died waiting for a needed organ* • 4,519 removed from wait list because they became too sick to transplant • 92 deaths were children • October 15, 2013 Growing transplant waiting list exceeding 116,000 • In 2012: • 7,040 died waiting for a needed organ* • 4,794 removed from wait list because they became too sick to transplant • 104 deaths were children *OPTN data accessed October 14, 2013
Waiting for an Organ That Never Came • An average of 18 people die every day in the US waiting for a needed organ • Although the number of people that died waiting for an organ last year was decreased, more people were removed from the waiting list because their condition deteriorated to a point where they were too sick to transplant • In California, an average of 3 people die everyday waiting for a needed organ
California Data 2012: 1,109 people died waiting for a needed organ transplant 575 deaths through June 2013 *OPTN data. Accessed October 14, 2013 www.OPTN.org
The Solution: Recover more organs for transplantation
Reducing the Number of Deaths Among Those Waiting for a Transplant • Transplant 2 more people every day • 2 more organs, 1 additional donor • 243 transplant programs • Reduce deaths on the waitlist to 6,303 (~10% decrease) • Continue to improve care with advancing technology for patients with end-organ failure • More time on the waiting list • Education programs to help keep people off the waitlist
Recovering More Organs for Transplant • Ensure we never miss opportunities for donation • Preserve the option of donation for every person and their family facing end-of-life issues • Education • Healthcare professionals • Public • Donor registries
Donor Designation in the U.S. 108,963,103 as of 12/31/12
Summary: Donor Designations, Q4 2012 • 108,963,103 designated donors nationwide • 24 states have signed up more than 2 million designated donors • In 31 states, donor designation share is at least 50% of the adult population • The number of donor designations increased 7.5% over the last 12 months
Donor Designation Highlights – Q4 2012 • In the 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico, 41.1% of recovered organ donors, 46.2% of recovered tissue donors, and 50.2% of recovered eye donors were authorized by state donor registries • Donor designation rate increased year-over-year in 16 of 28 states reporting
Impact on Donation, 2007-2012 Designated Donors Among Recovered Donors
Donation is a Process • The process of donation begins when a critically ill or injured patient is identified as a potential donor with a timely referral to the organ procurement organization (OPO) • Medical management of the potential organ donor requires knowledge of the physiologic derangements associated with this patient population • This process of donation relies on collaboration between the critical care team and the OPO to optimize organ recovery for transplantation
Donation is more than just a question Donation is a conversation
Success in Maximizing Organ Recovery • Identification of the potential donor • Declaration of death in a timely manner • Consent from the family • Management of the donor • Recovery of organs and tissues
Bold Request • Be open • Listen, learn, and teach others • Be bold: Share your thoughts and experiences • Focus on what we can do, not what we can’t do • Determine what we as a community of health care professionals can do to decrease and eventually eliminate deaths on the waiting list
