DeGarmo’s FSC Talent Solution is Helping OPOs Raise Authorization Rates Over 20%
Bloomington, IL — DeGarmo, a leader in talent assessment solutions, is transforming how Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) optimize their Family Services Coordinator (FSC) teams to drive higher donor authorization rates and save more lives. DeGarmo is proud to announce enhanced assessment tools, designed to equip FSCs with the insights and support needed to maximize organ and tissue donor authorizations.
By leveraging DeGarmo’s specialized FSC Talent Solution, Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) raised their authorization rates by over 20%, ultimately saving and extending thousands of lives annually. Some clients have reported that DeGarmo’s solutions reshaped their approach, which led to a 23-25% increase in their non-registered DCD authorization rate within three months of using DeGarmo's solution.
"We understand the profound responsibility family service coordinators carry," said Anthony Adorno, Director at DeGarmo. "Our enhanced assessments provide insights that support the selection and development of FSCs who possess the right skills and behavioral style. This ensures that families receive the compassionate care they deserve, ultimately helping to increase donor authorizations and save more lives."
LifeShare Network serves as a great example of how DeGarmo has transformed an OPOs effectiveness. After implementing DeGarmo's assessment solution, Kim Gillespie, Director of Hospital Development & Family Services at LifeShare Network, reported, “It took our non-registered donation after circulatory death (DCD) authorization rate from 49% to 65%.”
This significant transformation included evaluating the assessment results and gathering coordinator feedback on where they felt best suited. Gillespie noted, “There was a little convincing needed for some individuals about what we thought would be a better fit for them, based on their input regarding the position they felt would suit them better.”
DeGarmo’s talent assessment tools are making a difference in healthcare organizations and transplant networks nationwide. By optimizing the selection, hiring and training processes, these assessments help ensure that the right individuals are placed in critical roles, enhancing both performance outcomes and family experiences.
