Use Case Description(s) | |
Use Case Description | By capturing and exchanging an individual's organ donation wishes, we can expand and streamline organ donation workflows to help many more people find matches for potentially life-saving transplants. Donor registries need to do a better job of including and expanding more diverse donors so traditionally underserved populations in need of a transplant may have a better chance of being matched to a suitable donor. |
