Every Interaction Counts

Organ, Tissue & Eye Donation

More than a decade of collaboration between EffectiveArts and organ, tissue, and eye donation organizations across the US and internationally have resulted in a full array of research-based training programs to have donation staff be effective.

Every day, individuals and their families receive a priceless gift: a new life (a life saved or a life enhanced). Hundreds of committed donation staff and management make this possible — people who give of themselves far and beyond what is called for in most professions.
EffectiveArts' services have been credited with specific, measurable results including:
  • Patient’s families are better cared for;
  • Families authorizing donation who wouldn’t have otherwise;
  • Higher family authorizing rates (overall, with individual requesters, and with specific issues such as DCD and First Person Authorization) - see DeLario, G, NATCO Top Abstract Award 2013;
  • True partnerships with hospitals being established (resulting in higher hospital authorization rates), and
  • Increases in staff retention - see Maury, V., et al., AOPO Annual Conference 2002.
