Heart
OPO AND TRANSPLANT SOLUTIONS – CARDIAC DIAGNOSTICS
CARDIAC BEST PRACTICES – ORGAN TRANSPLANT
Specialist Direct’s Medical Director, Dr. Lee Marcus, studied at both Columbia University and Yale University and is fellowship-trained in cardiac transplantation. Dr. Marcus, in conjunction with SDI’s Medical Advisory Board, has developed proven cardiac imaging best practices to support OPOs in recovering incremental hearts. One example is the implementation of serial echocardiogram studies at SDI OPO clients.
RESEARCH-DRIVEN RESULTS
“We came to Specialist Direct with a need to increase the throughput of transplant cases within our surgery center. Previously, we lacked the ability to have echocardiogram studies scanned and interpreted in an expedited fashion. The Specialist Direct OPO solution has enabled us to increase the number of organs we recover within our surgery center. We couldn’t be more pleased with our relationship with Specialist Direct.”
