Being Sherlock Holmes: The Internet As A Tool For Assessing Live Organ Donors, Katrina Bramstedt, Steven Katznelson

Donor advocacy is a critical feature of live donor transplantation. Donor Advocates and Donor Advocate Teams (DAT) are now routine to the practice of live donor evaluation in the USA.

Katrina A. Bramstedt

A formal Ethics Consultation Service (ECS) can provide significant help to patients, families and hospital staff. As with any other form of clinical consultation, documentation of the process and the advice rendered is very important. Upon review of the published consult documentation practices of other ECSs, we judged that none of them were sufficiently detailed or structured to meet the needs and purposes of a clinical ethics consultation. Thus, we decided to share our method in order to advance the practice of ethics consultation. Here, we describe a method of ECS documentation practice, including use of a formal consult report …
