Mission and programs · 2024

• ORGAN RECOVERY AND PLACEMENT SERVICES: DONOR NETWORK OF ARIZONA (DNA) FOCUSES ON ITS MISSION TO SAVE AND HEAL LIVES BY INCREASING ORGAN AND TISSUE DONATION FOR TRANSPLANTATION IN THE STATE AND ACROSS THE NATION. THIS MISSION CAN ONLY BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE POWERFUL GIFTS GIVEN BY DONORS TO RECIPIENTS AND THE DNA PARTNERSHIPS WITH DONOR HOSPITALS AND TRANSPLANT CENTERS. (SEE SCHEDULE O FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION) ORGAN RECOVERY AND PLACEMENT SERVICES (CONTINUED):IN 2024, 372 DONORS GAVE A RECORD-SETTING NUMBER OF ORGANS, WHICH RESULTED IN THE RECOVERY OF 1,214 ORGANS OF WHICH 973 WERE TRANSPLANTED. AS DNA EXPANDS ITS EFFORTS TO PURSUE EVERY POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE LIVES, THE ORGANIZATION IDENTIFIED ANOTHER 258 POTENTIAL ORGAN DONORS WHO UNFORTUNATELY COULD NOT DONATE.DNA ALSO FACILITATED THE RECOVERY OF OVER 300 ORGANS FOR RESEARCH, WHICH IS VITAL TO INCREASING POSITIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE GENEROSITY OF DONORS IN ARIZONA IS THE CAUSE AND THE CATALYST FOR SUCH SUCCESSFUL DONATIONS OF ORGANS AND TISSUES TO GIVE HEALING AND HOPE TO OTHERS. THAT GENEROSITY SHOWS UP IN THE INCREASED RATE OF TRANSPLANTATION.IN 2024, 488 PEOPLE RECEIVED TRANSPLANTABLE KIDNEYS, TEN PEOPLE RECEIVED KIDNEYS EN BLOC, 114 PEOPLE RECEIVED TRANSPLANTABLE HEARTS, AND 254 PEOPLE RECEIVED TRANSPLANTABLE LIVERS (A 12% INCREASE FROM THE PRIOR YEAR AND A 34% INCREASE SINCE 2022). ADDITIONALLY, FOUR PEOPLE RECEIVED TRANSPLANTABLE LIVER SEGMENTS, 24 PEOPLE RECEIVED TRANSPLANTABLE PANCREATA, SIX PEOPLE RECEIVED TRANSPLANTABLE LUNGS, AND 70 PEOPLE RECEIVED TRANSPLANTABLE LUNGS EN BLOC (A 23% INCREASE). DNA STRIVES TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO INCREASE LIVES SAVED AND HONOR THE DONOR'S GIFTS. IN 2024, WE CONTINUED OUR PROGRAM TO PARTNER AND EDUCATE TRANSPLANT CENTERS IN ARIZONA, THE SOUTHWEST REGION, AND IN THE U.S. THAT ORGANS SUITABLE FOR TRANSPLANT ARE BEING DECLINED. THESE EFFORTS CONTINUE TO SUCCEED IN REACHING KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN THE TRANSPLANT COMMUNITY. DNA LAUNCHED A DEDICATED DONOR CARE CENTER (DCC) FOR DONOR PATIENTS AT BANNER - UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER PHOENIX IN EARLY 2024. THE DONOR CARE CENTER ALLOWS BETTER CARE FOR ARIZONA DONORS AND INCREASES DONATION OUTCOMES. IN 2024, WE TRANSFERRED 46 POTENTIAL DONORS TO THE DCC, RECOVERING SAVING A TOTAL OF 121 LIVES! WE CONTINUE TO SEE AMAZING RESULTS IN 2024, BUT THERE IS STILL MUCH WORK TO DO.

• TISSUE RECOVERY AND PLACEMENT SERVICES: DNA FACILITATED THE DONATION AND RECOVERY OF VARIOUS TISSUES FOR TRANSPLANT PURPOSES. (SEE SCHEDULE O FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION) TISSUE RECOVERY AND PLACEMENT SERVICES (CONTINUED):IN 2024, 1,732 PEOPLE DONATED BONE, CARDIOVASCULAR, DERMIS, AND/OR CORNEAL TISSUE. OF THESE, A RECORD 1,472 PEOPLE DONATED ORTHOPEDIC (BONE) TISSUE, A 4.6% INCREASE OVER THE PRIOR YEAR AND A 41.8% INCREASE FROM 2022.THE GENEROSITY OF 1,188 PEOPLE RESULTED IN DERMIS (SKIN) TISSUE FOR BURN VICTIMS AND RESTORATIVE PROCEDURES. IN 2024, THERE WERE 1,070 OCULAR DONORS WHO GAVE CORNEAL TISSUE. DNA PLACES CORNEAL TISSUE RECOVERED FROM OUR GENEROUS DONORS WITH A DEDICATED, ACCREDITED EYE BANK TO MAXIMIZE TRANSPLANTATION OPTIONS. IN ADDITION, MANY OTHER CARDIOVASCULAR AND ORTHOPEDIC TISSUES WERE DONATED, INCLUDING TISSUES USED TO DECREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF REJECTION IN ORGAN RECIPIENTS AND TO INCREASE OPTIONS FOR BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION.

• DONOR HOSPITAL PROGRAM SERVICES AND COMMUNITY SERVICES: DONOR PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT (DPD) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAXIMIZING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ORGANS RECOVERED FOR TRANSPLANT IN ARIZONA THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INDIVIDUALIZED DONATION PROGRAMS BASED ON COMPREHENSIVE HOSPITAL ASSESSMENT, ANALYSIS OF DONATION POTENTIAL, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ONGOING QUALITY PROCESS IMPROVEMENT, AND THE DEVELOPMENT AND FOSTERING OF EFFECTIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN THE HEALTHCARE COMMUNITY. (SEE SCHEDULE O FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION) DONOR HOSPITAL PROGRAM SERVICES AND COMMUNITY SERVICES (CONTINUED):DONOR NETWORK OF ARIZONA (DNA) CONTINUES TO UTILIZE THE BEST PRACTICES AS DEFINED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES' (HRSA) BREAKTHROUGH COLLABORATIVES FOR ORGAN DONATION AND TRANSPLANTATION. THIS INCLUDES ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN REGIONAL AND NATIONAL IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS. THESE EFFORTS CONTINUE TO HELP US MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER OF DONORS AND THE NUMBER OF ORGANS TRANSPLANTED PER DONOR IN ARIZONA. IN ADDITION TO ONGOING EDUCATION IN ARIZONA HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS, DNA SYMPOSIUM EVERY OTHER YEAR, INVITING HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS FROM ACROSS THE STATE. DNA HAS ROBUST HOSPITAL PARTNER PARTICIPATION IN NATIONAL DONATE LIFE MONTH AND MANY OF THE HOSPITALS IN ARIZONA RECEIVE RECOGNITION FROM HRSA.SOME KEY HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2024 INCLUDE:1.)DPD COORDINATORS CONTINUE TO BE ONSITE OVERSEEING EVERY DONATION AFTER CIRCULATORY DEATH (DCD) OPPORTUNITY. THIS ALLOWS US TO SUPPORT THE HOSPITAL AND PROVIDE EDUCATION IN REAL-TIME.2.)BASED ON TRENDS IN DATA AND FEEDBACK FROM STAFF AND HOSPITALS, A MONTHLY EDUCATION MESSAGE IS DEVELOPED AND DELIVERED IN ROUNDING THROUGH CRITICAL CARE DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE STATE. 3.)DPD HAS FOCUSED RESOURCES TO STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIPS WITH HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATORS TO BOTH IMPROVE THE HOSPITAL'S DONATION PROGRAMS AND INTRODUCE ORGAN DONATION PROCESS CHANGES IN THE STATE TO KEEP THEM INFORMED AND IN SUPPORT OF THEIR OWN DONATION PROGRAMS.4.)CONTINUED IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL EDUCATION WITH OVER 400 EDUCATION EVENTS. A QUARTERLY DONATION AND TRANSPLANTATION LEADERSHIP WEBINAR WAS OFFERED AS WELL, FOCUSING ON TOPICS TO KEEP HOSPITALS ABREAST OF TRENDS IN ORGAN DONATION AND TRANSPLANTATION. DNA ALSO CONTINUED TO PROVIDE AN ADVANCED DONOR NURSE CLASS THROUGHOUT THE STATE WITH CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS THROUGH THE CONTINUING NURSING EDUCATION GROUP (CNEG). BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE: THE BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE (BI) DEPARTMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IDENTIFYING, FORMULATING, IMPLEMENTING, AND EVALUATING HIGH-QUALITY, DATA DRIVEN DECISION CAPABILITIES AND PROCESS IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER LEADERS AND IN ALIGNMENT WITH DONOR NETWORK OF ARIZONA'S STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES. THIS DEPARTMENT INCLUDES DATA SYSTEMS AND ANALYTICS AND DATA INTELLIGENCE TEAMS WHICH COLLECT AND PRESENT DATA NEEDED FOR OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND TO PROVIDE FLEXIBLE DATA SOLUTIONS TO MEET ORGANIZATIONAL NEEDS. THIS DEPARTMENT IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSEEING THE DEATH RECORD REVIEW AND HOSPITAL DEATH REPORT AUDIT PROCESSES, AS WELL AS OVERSEEING ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD (EMR) SYSTEMS IN ARIZONA HOSPITALS FOR DONOR NETWORK OF ARIZONA STAFF. 2024 HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:1.) AUTHORIZATION MODEL DEVELOPMENT: IN PARTNERSHIP WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS, THE BI TEAM DESIGNED AND IMPLEMENTED A LOGISTIC REGRESSION MODEL IN PYTHON TO ASSESS THE COMPLEXITY OF FAMILY AUTHORIZATION CONVERSATIONS. LEVERAGING A DIVERSE SET OF OPERATIONAL AND CONTEXTUAL DATA, THIS MODEL OFFERS VALUABLE INSIGHTS INTO AUTHORIZATION PERFORMANCE TRENDS AND SUPPORTS INFORMED, REAL-TIME DECISION-MAKING. AFTER A YEAR OF ITERATIVE DEVELOPMENT, THE MODEL WAS SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOYED ALONGSIDE A REAL-TIME DASHBOARD AND SCORECARD, NOW IN ACTIVE USE BY DONOR LEGACY LEADERSHIP.2.)ROCBOARD: REAL-TIME REFERRAL OPTIMIZATION DASHBOARD: COLLABORATING WITH GOAL TEAM 4 AND ORGAN REFERRAL OPTIMIZATION (ORO) LEADERSHIP, WE DEVELOPED THE ROCBOARD - A CENTRALIZED, REAL-TIME DASHBOARD DESIGNED TO STREAMLINE ACCESS TO KEY REFERRAL INFORMATION. THIS TOOL ENABLES ROCS AND ORO STAFF TO VIEW ACTIVE HBV REFERRALS AT ONE GLANCE, ELIMINATING THE NEED TO NAVIGATE MULTIPLE EMR SYSTEMS. THE DASHBOARD INTEGRATES SEVERAL CUSTOM ALGORITHMS THAT IDENTIFY CRITICAL JUNCTURES IN THE REFERRAL PROCESS, SUPPORTING TIMELY AND EFFECTIVE FAMILY ENGAGEMENT.3.) OBSERVED-TO-EXPECTED (O:E) CALCULATOR: TO INCREASE INDEPENDENCE AND ANALYTICAL FLEXIBILITY, THE BI TEAM DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED AN INTERNAL TOOL TO CALCULATE THE OBSERVED-TO-EXPECTED (O:E) RATIO FOR ORGANS TRANSPLANTED. THIS REPLACED RELIANCE ON THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS AND ENABLED MORE COMPREHENSIVE DATA INTEGRATION ACROSS ORGANIZATIONAL DASHBOARDS. BEYOND SUPPORTING PERFORMANCE TRACKING FOR DNA'S ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS, THE O:E CALCULATOR NOW POWERS DEEPER TREND ANALYSES AND CASE-LEVEL AND ORGAN-SPECIFIC BREAKDOWNS, ENHANCING BOTH STRATEGIC INSIGHT AND OPERATIONAL DECISION-MAKING.4.) BALANCED SCORECARD FOR CLEAR: THE TEAM LAUNCHED A NEW BALANCED SCORECARD DASHBOARD WITHIN THE CLEAR (CENTRAL LIST OF ENTERPRISE ACTIVITY AND RESULTS) PLATFORM TO PROMOTE STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT AND DATA TRANSPARENCY. THIS TOOL PROVIDES A CENTRALIZED VIEW OF EACH STRATEGIC AREA, ALONG WITH ITS ASSOCIATED GOAL TEAMS, OBJECTIVES, AND PERFORMANCE METRICS. BY VISUALIZING BOTH CURRENT AND HISTORICAL DATA FOR EACH AREA, THE DASHBOARD OFFERS LEADERSHIP AND TEAMS A CLEAR, UP-TO-DATE PICTURE OF ORGANIZATIONAL PROGRESS AND SUPPORTS DATA-DRIVEN PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT ACROSS ALL STRATEGIC INITIATIVES.5.) EXPANDED DNA ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD REVIEW ACCESS WITH MOST ARIZONA HOSPITAL SYSTEMS INCLUDING 12 EMR SYSTEMS AND 17 DIFFERENT EMR PLATFORMS. THERE ARE CURRENTLY CLOSE TO 200 ACTIVE DNA EMPLOYEES WITH EMR ACCESS.6.) CONTINUED REFINEMENT OF THE AUTOMATED DEATH RECORD REVIEW PROCESS ON OVER 85% OF HOSPITAL DEATHS. THE HOSPITAL DEATH RECORD AND ICD10 CODE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM IS ESTIMATED TO SAVE APPROXIMATELY 70% OF THE TIME OF THE PREVIOUS MANUAL PROCESS, WHILE REMOVING MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR USER ERROR. THIS PROCESS' REFINEMENT AIMS TO HELP DNA IDENTIFY MISSED DONATION OPPORTUNITIES AND EFFECTIVELY MEET REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
