title: Organ and tissue donation: rights and responsibilities.
abstract: Critical care staff members have an obligation to facilitate the rights of individuals and their families regarding organ and tissue donation. These rights can be promoted through collaboration between a hospital and an organ procurement organization. Collaboration and education will help organ and tissue donation become part of institutional norms, and health care professionals will be able to provide the option of donation as part of the continuum of care.
