Prisma Health Enables Donor Registration Through MyChart To Speed Transplants As More Than 100,000 Await

Prisma Health Lets Patients Register For Organ, eye And Tissue Donation Through MyChart

USA: Prisma Health has added a MyChart feature that allows patients to register for organ, eye and tissue donation directly through the portal they already use for appointments and medical records. Launched in December and accessible on phones and computers, the integration comes as attention turns to National Donate Life Month and seeks to simplify a traditionally paper-heavy process.

More than 800 Prisma Health patients have registered through MyChart since the feature went live. The change arrives against a backdrop of urgent need: more than 100,000 people nationwide are awaiting transplants and nearly 1,800 are on waiting lists in South Carolina alone, underscoring the potential impact of even modest increases in donor registration.

Prisma Health clinicians say the MyChart option removes logistical barriers and can speed the process when every minute counts, improving the likelihood that organs and tissues are available for transplantation. Faster registration in the medical record can streamline consent verification and help clinical teams coordinate donation and procurement during critical clinical moments.

Health system leaders hope the convenience of an electronic sign-up will translate into more registered donors and smoother transitions from intent to actual donation, ultimately increasing successful transplantations. For patients already connected to Prisma Health’s digital tools, the new feature places donor registration alongside appointment scheduling and health information, making it a routine part of care navigation.
