About The Study: This cohort study found that despite their reported advantages and consensus endorsement, heterogeneous adoption of donor care units (DCUs) has left a substantial proportion of deceased donors after brain death more than a 180-minute drive from a DCU. Given inefficiencies introduced by donation service area boundaries, opening additional DCUs in acute care hospitals and donor transport across these existing boundaries may be 2 potential approaches to improve system efficiency and donation outcomes.
