The organ donor referral rates at Ben Taub General Hospital, a level 1 county trauma facility in Houston, Tex, were in the high 90s from 1993 through 1996. However, organs were procured from only 25% of those potential donors who were medically suitable. LifeGift Organ Donation Center identified two issues concerning the hospital's organ donor referrals: early medical management problems and a low consent rate. The hospital and LifeGift developed an in-house coordinator program along with specific protocols that have markedly increased the quantity of organ donors. In fiscal year 1994, 15 organ donors were recovered; in fiscal year 1995, following the implementation of the program, 25 organ donors were recovered. In fiscal year 1996, 39 organ donors were recovered. The in-house coordinators' consent rate was 72% of medically suitable potential donors. Early referrals for evaluation contributed to these successes.
位于得克萨斯州休斯敦的一级县级创伤医疗机构本·陶布综合医院，1993年至1996年期间的器官捐献者转诊率高达90%以上。然而，在那些医学上适合的潜在捐献者中，只有25%的人捐献了器官。生命礼物器官捐献中心发现了该医院器官捐献者转诊存在的两个问题：早期医疗管理问题和低同意率。该医院和生命礼物中心制定了内部协调员计划以及具体方案，显著增加了器官捐献者的数量。1994财年，有15名器官捐献者；1995财年，该计划实施后，有25名器官捐献者；1996财年，有39名器官捐献者。内部协调员对医学上适合的潜在捐献者的同意率为72%。早期转诊进行评估促成了这些成功。
