April 8, 2025 - Unpacking Organ Donation Laws: Empowering Participation and Honoring First-Person Authorization Laws
SPEAKERS: Melodie Hengerer, Esq., Shareholder at Baker Donelson; Crystal Yancey, MBA, CCRN-K, CPTC, LifeShare Clinical Operations Manager In-House Coordinators
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE This webinar will provide hospital leadership and patient caregivers such as nurses, physicians, social workers, and others an in-depth overview of the first-person authorization (FPA) process under the Oklahoma Uniform Anatomical Gift Act (UAGA). Participants will be taught what constitutes a "gift" under the law, and the procedures for making, amending, or revoking such a gift. We will also explore how to handle objections from family members when revocation is involved. Additionally, the session will briefly cover the collaborative roles of the hospital team and the organ procurement organization (OPO) in ensuring the proper execution of FPA, including the obligations each party has in honoring these decisions. |
