  • Title: Organ donation and procurement: what responsibilities does the hospital have?
    Journal: Health Technol; 1987; 1(5):182-90. PubMed ID: 10284124.
    Abstract:
    Organ transplantation has become an accepted part of medical practice, but one whose benefits have not been fully realized. Because organs are obtained from only a small percentage of suitable donors, many patients with end-stage renal or cardiac disease die while awaiting a transplant. Hospitals have been given increased responsibilities in the procurement of organs; these duties must be thoroughly understood by hospital administration and those who actually request organ donation.
