SMART on FHIR application drives performance gains via improved accuracy and efficiency

Nottingham, MD | June 29, 2021. LifeLogics, a specialty data management solutions provider to the organ and tissue recovery and processing community, today announced that its Copernicus Donor Chart SMART on FHIR application – which provides real-time clinical/medical data integration with Epic® – has been successfully implemented for Gift of Life Donor Program, one of the largest organ procurement organizations (“OPO”) in the U.S. With the click of a button, Gift of Life is now able to access important information on potential donors including labs, meds, chart notes, vitals, various diagnostics, problem list, demographic details, and other data critical to fulfilling its life-saving mission on behalf of more than 107,000 children and adults on the national transplant waitlist.

Copernicus is the secure integration engine from LifeLogics that allows organizations to automate referrals and/or access in real-time clinical donor information electronically. Copernicus is available to any hospital utilizing the Epic EHR, and free of charge. Further, Copernicus is available to any Organ Procurement Organization (OPO). “Automating this critical aspect of the donor suitability and assessment process has a significant impact on the industry,” says Peter Bilsky, Executive Director at LifeLogics. “The benefits include efficiency gains, an accelerated screening process, real-time patient data access, and accuracy improvements; at the end of the day, though, it’s all above saving lives.”

Gift of Life Donor Program has led the nation in organ donation for the past 13 consecutive years, saving and enhancing more than two million lives since its founding. “Successful transplants depend on speed, accuracy, and efficiency,” says Gift of Life Donor Program President & CEO Howard M. Nathan. “In an environment where literally every second counts, we embrace every best practice and technical innovation to save more lives and create a meaningful legacy for our heroic donors and their selfless families.”
