CMS Regulations
Back in January 2007, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) introduced a measurement on organs placed for research. In addition to recovering viable organs for transplantation, organ procurement organizations are now being assessed by CMS for placing organs for research. IIAM continues to identify new researchers to help ensure that each referral translates into an opportunity to advance medical research.
IIAM provides complete educational and informational support for recovery programs and referral sources interested in offering donors the option of research donation.
- In-service training for personnel
- Hospice and nursing staff education and information
- Training on research procedures for recovery coordinators
Brochures and posters suitable for professional education and public information about research donation are available from IIAM. For more information click here to request media or call 1-800-486-IIAM
