The Authority has six strategic priorities that will guide the work of the Authority and the National Reform Agenda for 2011-12.  The six priorities carry equal importance for the Authority in effectively progressing implementation of the reform agenda.

1. Development of electronic donor record (EDR)

EDR supports the capture of referral suitability analysis, medical-social history and family consent, and provides a real time system for the offer, allocation and distribution of organs and tissue.

2. Hospital performance audit data collection enhancement

The enhancements to the hospital performance audit and reporting will establish a national best practice framework for data analysis and drive clinical performance improvement.

3. Increasing consent rate

Family Conversation Workshops are being developed to provide intensive training modules for clinicians on managing the donation requesting process with potential donor families.

4. Special audience’s communication and engagement strategy

The Authority is developing, in consultation with key stakeholders, a communication engagement strategy to address potential barriers to organ and tissue donation within culturally and linguistically diverse audiences in Australia.

5. Integration of the Eye and Tissue Network into the broader DonateLife Network (DLN)

The integration of the Eye and Tissue Network into the broader DonateLife Network will deliver strategies to further integrate solid organ and tissue donation processes.

6. Development of performance and reporting framework

The development of a performance and reporting framework will provide an agreed process for collecting, reporting and disseminating data; and delivering improved access to data.
