EOI Physician Legacy of Life/Critical Organ Donation Opportunity
4 weeks ago
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 this vision is the consolidation of district health authorities into a streamlined health system. This system can provide opportunities to put resources where they are most effective, 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 Critical Care and Emergency Care programs. This position reports to the Medical Director of Legacy of Life/Critical Care Organ Donation (LoL/CCOD).
Mandate
The role of the Donation Physician is to provide medical leadership and champion the organ and tissue donation program. As a member of the provincial donation program's leadership team, the Donation Physician works closely with physicians in Critical and Emergency areas to provide support and consultation to the patient care team related to deceased donation.
The Donation Physician will be responsible for ensuring that communication related to the mandatory requirements for referral and the logistic implementation under the Human Organ and Tissue Donation Act (HOTDA) is disseminated to hospital physicians. Working in partnership with the Medical Director, the Provincial Medical Education Lead, the Manager, and the Clinical Practice Lead, the Donation Physician will ensure the implementation of donation practices and policies across the NSH.
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 improvements in the zone.
- Work in conjunction 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.
