What does the Red Cross do to ensure that donor family wishes are followed?
When a tissue donor family agrees to donate their loved one’s tissue, they work with a Red Cross trained donor coordinator to determine what specific tissues they wish to donate. Red Cross donor family coordinators undergo regular training to ensure the wishes of its donor families are respected. Once the family agrees on which tissues to donate, before the Red Cross procurement team recovers the tissue, the team leader speaks directly with the donor coordinator who filled out the consent form with the family to verbally verify what tissue the Red Cross is to recover. This safety step is to ensure the procurement team knows exactly which tissues the family agreed upon to recover.
