Additional Info

  • Organ donors can be dead or alive.
  • We only want to code this for major organ donations, i.e. not cornea, skin or bones.
  • This code is for the donor, not recepients of transplanted organs.

Deceased organ donors

  • Donation after death can be either:
    • After brain death: Brain death
    • Donation after Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) -- where a person who undergoes MAID has made arrangements in advance for organ harvesting after death.
    • Donation after cardiac death (DCD) -- where a donor who is not brain dead is dependent on life support and the family has decided to withdraw care. When the patient's heart stops beating, the organs are then recovered in the operating room.

Some organ donors have a bronchscopy done, but not all do, so don't automatically assume and code it. The only time it is done is if there are considering the lungs. This is according to a Respirologist from STB ICU.

Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition

Candidate Combined ICD10 codes

Will this end up coded as Transplant or is that for receiving a transplant only? Would it then be coded as Procure, Harvest, Obtain for Further Use? And with which CCI component 1 codes - what organ was something done to, ie do all removed organs need to be coded separately? Will we want a CCMDB Data Integrity Checks for that?

  • Do we want to differentiate between living and cadaver donor renal transplants like we did with the old system?
  • AG REPLY --- no we will not be differentiating between an organ donor whose organ was obtained before death vs. after death
