Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hi Bill At our facility the Transplant Administrator and our statistical tech wants to be living donor advocates. They are a part of the transplant center but they do not have contact with the recipient or the donor. Will this be ok? Beverly Antoine, LPN Transplant Financial Coordinator LSU-UMC Laffayette, LA bantoi@... From: TxFinancialCoordinators [mailto:TxFinancialCoordinators ] On Behalf Of Vaughan Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 12:09 AM To: TxFinancialCoordinators Subject: RE: Living Donor Advocate Hi Pat, It is my understanding and I may be mistaken but the donor advocate may not be a member of the transplant team at all. From the inspection standards: X122 (1) The living donor advocate or living donor advocate team must not be involved in transplantation activities on a routine basis. “Routine” is defined as scheduled participation with any activities involving any transplant recipients regardless of organ type, for example, on-call, waiting list management, organ allocation decisions, direct transplant patient care, and clinical transplant coordination, etc. It is expected that the living donor advocate will have detailed knowledge and understanding of the transplantation and donation process. Therefore, this section does not require that the individual conduct his or her donor advocate activities entirely outside the operation of the transplant program. However, the surveyor must be able to confirm through the review of all interactions between the advocate and donor that no influence was given as a result of any involvement the donor advocate may have with organ transplantation. The above is from the inspection standards, Hope this helps, Thanks, Bill From: TxFinancialCoordinators [mailto:TxFinancialCoordinators ] On Behalf Of Hogan, Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2007 5:46 PM To: TxFinancialCoordinators Subject: RE: Living Donor Advocate Hi Kim, It is my understanding that it has to be someone from the " donor team " who does the eval who is not part of the recipients case. In our center we have a separate GI doc, a separate Psychiatrist and a separate social worker, along with a separate Transplant Nurse Coordinator.
