*Organ donors can be dead or alive.
**Use it as the primary admit diagnosis for a person admitted for the purpose of having an organ removed for transplant into somebody else. See '''[[Guideline for coding living donor organ donation]]'''
**Use it as an diagnosis in the situation where the donor comes in electively to a ward, then goes to OR and has organ harvested, and THEN comes back to the same location (in which case it'll now be an acquired dx) or a different location (in which case it'll be an admit dx).
*For dead organ donors (including DCD), see '''[[Guideline for coding organ donation after death]]'''
*We only want to code this for major organ donations, i.e. not cornea, skin or bones.

*For a live donor (e.g. man giving a kidney to his sister) this can be (and virtually always WILL be) an [[Admit diagnosis]].
{{DA | Why would it not be an [[Acquired Diagnosis]]? They may have been admitted for [[Preparatory care (incl preop optimization)]], no? Or would they then not be on a ward where we collect because we are not surgical? }}
=== Deceased organ donors ===
See [[Guideline for coding organ donation after death]]; there is no separate code for cadaver donations.

If a braindead person goes to OR to harvest organs, then that procedures, just code this code, even though the code happens after they leave the unit. They do need to be coded for live donors.
* [[Procure, Harvest, Obtain for Further Use]]
* Organ donors considered for lung transplants may have a bronchoscopy ([[(T) Bronchi]] - [[Inspection, Exploration (endoscopic)]]) - code only if applicable
