Referral

Intended audience: recipient coordinator transplant program admin

A potential recipient is referred to a transplant program by their doctor or other specialist, by means of a referral package of documentation and medical information. The transplant team at the program reviews the package, possibly obtains additional information, and makes an initial referral decision whether to proceed with the requested transplant or transplants.

The recipient coordinator or a transplant program administrator enters information about the recipient to create a recipient profile. Once the profile is saved, a recipient coordinator specifies the organs the recipient requires, and the referral decisions for each. A decision of Referral Accepted allows the recipient to continue their journey. Other decisions can end the journey or put it on hold.
