Purpose: To gain consensus on aspects of the process of gaining consent for organ donation that should be mainstream daily practice.
Methods: A 3-day consensus conference of transplant professionals that provided a forum for research and innovative ideas about gaining consent for organ donation. Four work groups were assembled to address issues of gaining consent from organ and tissue donors: (1) demystifying first-person consent (donor authorization): is it a matter of law?, (2) recovery coordinators: getting from green to great, (3) maximizing the process: old views and new, and (4) donor family support: mother or smother?
Results: Participants reached a consensus about major consent-related practices, identified areas of practice variance, and defined topics in need of further research.
