I membri DCHA hanno creato il Qualità collaborativa (QC) in the last quarter of 2017 to provide an advisory role to support District hospitals in their collective pursuit to become a recognized leader in high quality, safe and innovative patient care. The QC includes a core committee and workgroup structure to identify best practices and facilitate performance improvement activities.

One Organ Donor Can Save Up to Eight Lives
Organ, eye and tissue donation is one of the most generous and incredible acts that a person can do. It can have such a positive and profound impact on not only the people whose lives are saved, but their families, friends and communities. So, it’s important to know the process and understand how it works. Just last year, more than 35,000 patients were helped thanks to benevolent donors in the Metro DC area.

Please feel free use and share the infographic and social media graphics about the organ donor process. If you need other graphics, contact Jen Hirt.
