## Summary

**Electronic automated referrals** for potential deceased organ donors would be studied to see if using hospital electronic health records and automatic triggers can speed identification and increase donations. The bill defines an "electronic automated referral" as a system that finds potential deceased donors using clinical criteria in a patient's electronic health record and automatically refers them to the hospital's organ procurement organization, and it would require HHS to complete the study within one year. - Hospitals would get an analysis of potential staff time savings and changes in how quickly clinicians can determine donor eligibility compared with manual checks. This would examine use of electronic medical records and standardized clinical criteria. - Organ procurement organizations would receive evidence on whether automated referrals change donation volumes and reduce the need for manual reporting. - Patients on transplant lists could indirectly benefit if the study leads to recommendations that raise donation rates and smoother hospital-to-OPO referrals.
