Best Practices for Cooperation among OPOs, Tissue Banks, and Funeral Service ProfessionalsBest Practices Agreement • October 3rd, 2013
More than 10 years ago, representatives of the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) and the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) reached an historic agreement on a set of best practices involving organ and tissue donation. The purpose of this effort was to eliminate as many of the impediments to the facilitation of the donation process as possible. Many of these problems resulted from a lack of communication and understanding of different roles and responsibilities between and among funeral service professionals, tissue banks and organ procurement organizations in order to allow each to better serve the needs of the families in their shared communities.
