30 Since 2000, the rate of deaths from drug overdoses in the U.S. has increased 137%, including a 200% increase in the rate of overdose deaths involving opioids (opioid pain relievers and heroin). From 2000 to 2014, nearly half a million persons in the United States have died from drug overdoses. In 2014, there were approximately one and a half times more drug overdose deaths in the United States than deaths from motor vehicle crashes. In 2014, opioids were involved in 28,647 deaths, or 61% of all drug overdose deaths; the rate of opioid overdoses has tripled since 2000.

55 Organ Donation Breakthrough Collaborative Background..Prior to 2001 U.S. Deceased Donor Organ Transplants Were Only Increasing 1-2% Per Year The Transplant Waiting Lists and Waiting Times Were Rapidly Growing Deaths On The Waiting List Were Increasing Sharply (from 3,512 in 1995 to 6,703 in 2001: We had more deaths than donors )

57 Every System is Perfectly Designed to Achieve Exactly the Results it Gets ~Donald Berwick and Paul Batalden

58 The National Organ Donation Breakthrough Collaborative An intensive, full-court press to transform performance Based on: Breakthrough Collaborative Series A learning model developed by the IHI (Institute for Healthcare Improvement) Defined, Documented, and Disseminated Good Ideas Accelerated Improvement Achieved Results

59 Organ Donation Breakthrough Collaborative GOALS: Increase the average conversion rate of eligible donors from the average of 43% to 75% in the Nation s largest 200 hospitals Increase donations by up to 1,900 donors per year Increase transplantations by 6,000 per year Help save lives of thousands of people each year and prevent up to 17 deaths per day.

60 This is an unprecedented historic opportunity to apply science, methods, systems, vigor, and energy to organ and tissue donation Rear Admiral Kenneth Moritsugu, MD U.S. Deputy Surgeon General Learning Session 2 Dallas, TX January 2004

61 Sharing of Best Demonstrated Practices OPO Referral Trigger: Refer all vent-dependent patients with a nonrecoverable neurological injury OPO Commitment: Immediate on-site response to evaluate every organ donor referral Hospital - OPO team approach to clinical management & family centered care Strong OPO emphasis on Consistency in clinical practice Timely referral Effective requestors Family empowerment Hospital Routine open dialogue w/care team; reinforcing environment of joint accountability for outcomes Family OPO

62 Create a Culture for Excellence No Credit for Effort Joint accountability Hospitals and OPOs staff must be held accountable for: Referral rates Conversion rates Consent rates Organ yield per donor Consent processes Donor management processes

63 Building a World Class Donation & Transplantation System SPREAD best practices and results to largest hospitals with 90% of potential organ donors Nurture and sustain a national learning community in action to increase donation Launched the first Annual Organ Donation National Learning Congress in May nd Annual Learning Congress Convened in October rd Annual Learning Congress Convened in October th Annual Learning Congress Convened in October th Annual Learning Congress Convened in September th Annual Learning Congress Convened in November 2010

64 Consult Gift of Life on all Vent-Dependent Patients w/a Non-Recoverable Neurologic Injury/Illness To preserve the organ donation option for patients/families, call KIDNEY-1 according to the following criteria: (regardless of age, medical history, current hospital course, hemodynamic status) 1. At the first indication the patient has suffered a non-recoverable neuro injury/illness (pt. begins to lose some neuro reflexes) 2. Prior to the first formal brain death examination 3. Prior to family discussion of DNR or withdrawal of support 4. Patient has suffered: Head Trauma, Anoxia, CVA Call Gift of Life KIDNEY-1 ( ) In collaboration with the care team, Gift of Life will initiate the first mention of organ donation (after it has been determined that the patient is a medically suitable candidate for donation).

65 Team Huddle Ensures Optimal Communication with Care Team and Family Criteria for Team Huddle: After medical suitability has been determined Shift change Family/care team are discussing DNR or withdrawal of support Family brings up donation Brain death has been determined Patient is hemodynamically unstable At the request of the care team or Gift of Life Coordinator Participants: Gift of Life Coordinator Bedside Nurse Treating Physician Resident Support Staff (when appropriate) Pastoral Care Social Work Respiratory Care Other A Gift of Life Coordinator (with a designated member of the care team) will facilitate the team huddle at important junctures of the case. Points for Discussion Patient Status, Clinical Plan, Donation Options, Family Communication/Support, Next Steps

69 Holding the Gains.. But More Improvement is Needed Organ Donors Collaborative Starts (2003) Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Source: Based on OPTN data through December 31,

70 The Collaborative has led to major increases in conversion rates at the participating hospitals as well as to national increases in organ donation. The primary goal, a 75% conversion rate, was achieved by 21 of the 95 hospitals by the end of September In 2004, total donations in the United States from deceased donors increased by 10.8% over 2003; donations increased by 16% in the 95 hospitals participating in the Collaborative. Crit Care Nurse 2006;26:33-48; The all teach all learn approach has brought an incredible level of mutual accountability, teamwork, and spirit to the lifesaving interactions between hospitals and OPOs.

Non-vascular; no biocompatibility requirements. No immunosuppression Processed before transplantation Recovered primarily from deceased (brain dead) heartbeating donors. However, DCD (Donation After Cardiac Death) increasing. Must be ABO-compatible; HLA compatible for some organs. Immunosuppression required. Transplanted within hours after recovery Recovered primarily from deceased (brain dead) heartbeating donors. However, DCD may be possible. Must be ABO and HLA compatible. Immunosuppression required. Transplanted within hours after recovery. No wait list > 123,000 Americans waiting Wait lists forming

74 VCA Under OPTN Oversight 42 CFR Part 121 Final Rule: July 3, 2013 Added VCA to definition of a human organ effective July, 2014 This definition identifies which body parts are now covered, while providing flexibility to allow other body parts to be covered as the field of VCA transplantation advances.

75 VCA Transplants In the U.S. (1999 thru December 2014 before and after UNOS ) 32 VCA transplant recipients were transplanted at 11 different transplant centers. 8 Face Transplants 8 Bilateral Upper Extremities 15 Unilateral Upper Extremities 1 Multiple VCA a face & bilateral upper extremity Source: AOPO and UNOS There are an additional nine transplant hospitals in the planning stages for a new VCA transplant program, with a few close to approving patients, including one children s hospital.

76 UNOS VCA Committee Formed December 2013 Develop policies and procedures for safe and efficient procurement and distribution of VCAs Establish specific donor authorization requirements. Establish VCA transplant program OPTN membership requirements Develop an OPTN VCA database Review VCA definition in Final Rule

77 VCA Policy Development OPTN directed by HRSA to establish policies for VCA transplantation within its existing policy structure, with goal of instituting basic framework for VCA transplantation prior to implementation of the Final Rule modifications on July 3, OPTN Vascularized Composite Allograft (VCA) Transplantation Committee formed Representation from U.S. transplant programs experienced in VCA transplantation and the major transplant and procurement societies Discussed/proposed policy and bylaw recommendations for the major areas identified for VCA program and allocation oversight Chair, Sue V.
