[Comprehensive range of services for general hospitals in the area of organ donation nearly doubles the number of donors in 2 years with a simultaneously economical process].
To overcome the donor shortage, any potential donor resource must be detected. By establishing a professional service for peripheral hospitals, the numbers of donors available in small hospitals could be nearly doubled: 85% of all donors in our region come from nonuniversity hospitals. By using total quality management techniques, the time requirements for organ donation after confirmation of brain-death and given consent could be reduced to 6 h.
