Manage general clinical information
Intended audience: recipient coordinator transplant program admin
General clinical information about a recipient includes blood type and body measurements. Clinical information is factored into the organ allocation and offer process when a donor organ becomes available.
Enter clinical information when:
You create the recipient’s profile, based on the recipient's referral package.
You obtain new clinical information, at any time during the transplant journey.
Adding or updating clinical data (blood type)
Go to the recipient’s profile, then select Profile > General Clinical Information on the sidebar.
The Clinical Data fields are populated with any previously saved information.
Add or edit information in the Clinical Data fields:
Select a Blood Type from the dropdown.
Select an RH Factor from the dropdown.
If the blood type and RH factor are confirmed, select Yes under Blood Type Verified.
Select the Save Clinical Data button (if visible) or scroll to the bottom of the page and select the Save Recipient button.
To cancel, select the return to previous page icon or browse to any other page without saving. Any unsaved information is discarded.
How Clinical Data affects the transplant journey:
Blood Type and RH Factor can be saved as Unknown but must be changed to valid values before a medical assessment decision of Recipient to be listed can be submitted.
The Blood Type Verified box must be selected before a medical assessment decision of Recipient to be listed can be submitted.
The Calculated Panel Reactive Antibody (cPRA) value is provided by the system, based on the recipient’s HLA results.
