HLA Technologists can save a digital copy of a donor's typing sheet to the donor’s profile, to be downloaded and viewed at transplant programs when a decision is being made to accept or decline an offered organ.

Before attaching documents, ensure that all identifying information about the donor has been redacted. This can include changing file names and blacking out sections of documents.


Attaching a document

To attach a donor typing sheet to a donor profile:

  1. Go to the donor’s profile, then select Profile > Donor Documents on the sidebar on the left side of the page.

  2. Select Attach New Document.

  3. Select the Choose File button displayed in the Clinical Attachment field.

  4. With your browser’s file management tools, find and select a target document.

  5. The selected document’s file name appears under Clinical Attachment and under Filename.

  6. Enter document information:

    1. Select a Category from the dropdown of Donor HLA results.

    2. Change the Filename if needed. Be sure the Filename does not include identifying information about the donor.

    3. Enter an optional Description of the file (e.g., “Donor typing sheet”)

  7. Select the Save Document button.

The system adds the document as a link in the Uploaded Documents table, along with its Category, Attachment Date, File Name, File Type, Description, and the name of the user who uploaded it.
