Antigonish County, Canada Nova Scotia Health Authority Full time
About the Opportunity

Nova Scotia Health Authority has outlined a vision for people-centered healthcare that enables the system to think and act as one. A critical step in achieving this vision is the consolidation of the nine existing district health authorities into Nova Scotia Health, with the IWK Health Centre remaining separate. This streamlined health system can provide opportunities to allocate resources effectively, build a system that focuses on people and patients, ensure a provincial approach to planning and integration of services, and reduce duplication.

The Donation Physician role supports the development and implementation of a donation system across Nova Scotia by acting as a champion for deceased donation in the Critical Care and Emergency Care programs. This position reports to the Medical Director of Legacy of Life/Critical Care Organ Donation (LoL/CCOD).

Responsibilities
  • Maximize donation potential by minimizing missed opportunities in deceased donation and implementing best practices.
  • Establish effective working relationships with key stakeholders throughout the hospital and integrate donation-related education into the professional development of large regional centers.
  • Review local/zone-level data to identify success and opportunities for improvement in the zone.
  • Work with local/zone-based leadership to identify site-specific strategies to optimize organ and tissue opportunities for the zones.
  • Ensure effective implementation of deceased donation policies and procedures.
  • Ensure integration of donation into end-of-life care practices and policies.
  • Identify resources required to support the donation program.
  • Ensure effective deceased donation follow-up with hospital physicians.
  • Act as a resource person for hospital physicians and staff questions/concerns and issues.
  • Liaise with Medical Education Lead and/or Medical Director to address hospital concerns and issues.
  • Provide medical insight on performance metrics in donor identification and referral, approach, consent, and clinical donor management.
  • Be available to provide support and advice for LoL/CCOD after hours when on call for their Intensive Care Unit.
  • Work with the organ donation coordinator in selected cases based on identified criteria.
  • Upon request from LoL/CCOD, offer directed advice on the declaration and management of potential donors to the Most Responsible Physician (MRP) and bedside MD trainees.
  • Use LoL/CCOD provincial policies and program standard operating procedures as guidelines in providing support and advice.
  • Provide direction in the donation and transplantation process when conflict occurs between parties.
  • Identify educational and improvement opportunities.
  • Assist in drafting recommendations and policies that support the mandate of LoL/CCOD and implementation of HOTDA.
Eligibility
  • The Donation Physician shall be a physician or surgeon licensed to practice medicine in the province of Nova Scotia with current NS Health privileges.
  • The Donation Physician will be an attending physician in Critical Care in the applicable zone.
  • Previous experience working in an Organ Donation/Procurement Organization is an asset.
  • Demonstrated excellent communication skills.
  • Basic computer skills with a familiarity with Microsoft Outlook and spreadsheet or database software.
Compensation

This is a 1-year term position.

Compensation: $10, for approximately 0.03 FTE.
