【Objective】 To report the activities of an in-hospital coordinator who changed to a multidisciplinary system to build a system that can connect the intention of organ donation.
【Methods】 The in-hospital coordination was changed from a nurse-only system to a system including an emergency physician, a clinical laboratory technician, and a clinical engineer. In addition, a urologist and a clinical recipient transplant coordinator were added as support staff.
【Results】 A multidisciplinary hospital coordinator system was established, and a system for organ donation was put in place within the hospital. Since the change to the multidisciplinary coordination system, we have experienced seven cases of organ donation under brain death. The multidisciplinary collaboration system has strengthened team ties and facilitated cooperation when dealing with organ donation cases.
【Conclusion】 The number of cases of brain-dead organ donation increased due to the improvement of teamwork through multidisciplinary cooperation and the improvement of the hospital system.
