Quality indicators for deceased organ and tissue donation for transplantation: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The global shortage of organs and tissues highlights the need to strengthen and monitor the quality of deceased donor programs. Evaluating each stage of this process using quality-sensitive indicators is essential to ensure transparency, efficiency, safety, and effectiveness. However, there is still no consensus on which indicators best reflect the quality of organ and tissue donation processes, highlighting the need to map and analyze existing evidence. The aim of this study was to map and analyze international literature on indicators for monitoring the quality of the process of deceased organ and tissue donation for transplantation.

Methods

This review will be conducted following the methodology proposed by the JBI and guidelines for scope reviews. The database
