Data Element Information
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.
