About the Breakthrough Collaborative
As part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's Gift of Life Donation Initiative, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) launched in April 2003 the "Organ Donation Breakthrough Collaborative" to identify and promote best practices in organ donation for adoption by hospitals and organ procurement organizations (OPOs).
The goal of the initative is to raise the overall average donor conversion rate to 75 percent among hospitals and OPOs participating in the collaborative.
