Providing organ donor information to patients who are discharged from the hospital would reach a wide audience and increase the number of potential organ donors. Asking patients upon admission or only asking families of dying patients may not reach as many potential donors. Waiting until patients are settled in an inpatient unit may miss the opportunity to ask patients who are discharged quickly or never admitted to an inpatient unit.
