title: Collaboration, consultation, and care: developing an effective donor program.
abstract: The worsening shortage of organ and tissue donors in the United States has led to new clinical and legislative initiatives designed to increase the number of organs and tissues available for donation. Inlight of these new initiatives, this article reexamines the relationship between hospitals and organ and tissue procurement agencies who coordinate the donation process.
