Gift Of Life Michigan And Specialist Direct Collaborate To Increase Organ Recovery Rates

HENDERSON, Nev., Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Gift of Life Michigan and Specialist Direct announced the initial results of their collaboration to improve organ recovery rates and save lives.

"We came to Specialist Direct with a need to increase the throughput of transplant cases within our surgery center. Previously, we lacked the ability to have echocardiogram studies scanned and interpreted in an expedited fashion.

We couldn't be more pleased with our relationship with Specialist Direct," said Bruce Nicely, Chief Clinical Officer of Gift of Life Michigan. 

"Specialist Direct is thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with Gift of Life Michigan to improve organ recovery outcomes and save lives. Bruce and his team are true visionaries as it relates to organ procurement organization best practices. We're humbled that they've entrusted us with this strategic initiative," said W.

Specialist Direct's solution for Gift of Life Michigan facilitates organ recovery 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Through the company's cloud technology, echocardiogram and radiology studies are automatically routed to the appropriate medical specialist for a real-time interpretation.
