Oregon’s Donor Registry –Your Help is Critical
You
Have the Power to Save Lives
by
Asking Just Question1
“Do you want to register
to be an
organ, eye and tissue donor?”
The Question is…
Why Ask the Question?The Transplant Waiting List
Juana endures dialysis 3x weekly while she waits for a new kidney.
12 year old Haley waits for a life-saving liver transplant.
Zachary needs a small intestine transplant.
Randy’s life is challenged by the exhaustion of dialysis as he awaits a kidney transplant.
2500 people in Oregon and Washington await an organ transplant
18 people in the U.S. die waiting for an organ every day
Why is the Donor Registry Important?
The donor registry gives families a way to know – and therefore honor - their
loved one’sdonation decision.
Your work is critical to giving people a chance to live!
Why Ask the Question? People Equate ‘D’ with DMV
98.6% of registered Oregon
drivers sign up
through DMV
Oregon Power
More than 2.1 million Oregonians
are registered as organ, eye and tissue donors.
23,656 2,166,498 8,161
Total = 2,180,919
Oregon Standing
As a result of your help: • Oregon is among just 5 states with >70% of
licensed drivers registered as organ, eye and tissue donors• Oregon’s donor designation rate is 57% - natl. goal is 50%• 50% of donors are registered – natl. goal is 50%
National Goal: • 20M new registrations across the U.S.in 2012
What the ‘D’ Code Means
‘D’ on a license, permit or ID card
means consent
for organ, eye and tissue donation
Important Notes: For donation to proceed, family consent is
required for patients under 18.
The ‘D’ code does not include whole
body donation.
Ask Every Customer…
15 years or olderGetting a driver’s permitGetting an original driver’s licenseRenewing a driver’s licenseGetting an ID card
Minors do not need parental permission to register
Because Every Time You Ask…
You have the power
to save up to 9 lives
and restore sight or mobility
for 50+ people
Why the Shortage?
Registration Donation! A person’s ability to be a donor is
determined at time of death.
<0.05% of deaths meet current criteria for organ donation.
ABC’s of the Donor Registry
You’re On the Front Line
so here are some
basic facts & responses…
DON AT EL I F E
EVERYONE can REGISTER!
• You are not too old/sick to register• Whether you can be a donor is not
determined until time of death• Criteria for donation change due to medical
research• Registering allows your family to know your
wishes when you die if you have not already discussed donation with them.
What Can Be Donated after Death?

TISSUES/EYES
Brain death is o Irreversible process - no blood flow or electrical activity in the brain
o NOT the same as coma: blood flow and electrical activity can be detected; partial or total recovery possible
All types of memorial arrangements, including open casket, are possible following organ, eye and/tissue donation.
There is no cost to the donor or donor family for donation.
Don’t Believe the Hollywood Hype!
Organ recipients are selected by geographic region, blood type, time on the waiting list and medical acuity. Some organs also require tissue matching.
Hospital personnel CANNOT access the donor registry. They do everything possible to save a patient’s life – that is their job!
All major religions in the U.S. support organ, eye and tissue donation.
…or the Media Hype!
LIFE after Transplant
almost normal…
• possibility of rejection
• immunosuppressant drugs
• post-transplant check-ups
