5 years after tragedy: an update on organ procurement travel in Michigan.

In 2007, six members of a lung procurement team from the University ofMichiganwere killed in a plane crash over Lake Michigan. In response, The Michigan Donor Travel Forum assembled to develop strategies for improving the safety of procurement travel in the United States. Several issues were identified as targets for future quality improvement, including concerns of safety culture, communication between stakeholders and standardization of travel practices (1) (Table 1). Here, we revisit the Michigan Donor Travel Forum’s recommendations and evaluate our center’s response in an effort to promote ongoing dialog related to procurement travel practice reform.
