Abstract
Can private jets help save lives? Yes. Can short videos nudge next-of-kin to donate more? Also, yes. How has an outsider to the transplantation system, with no previous knowledge or expertise in (any aspect of) healthcare, managed to make a difference? Is imagination really more important than knowledge? In this invited article, I will briefly describe two innovations—OrganJet and Nudge Videos—that I have implemented in the US Transplantation System that have extended the lives of many.
期刊介绍:
Decision Sciences, a premier journal of the Decision Sciences Institute, publishes scholarly research about decision making within the boundaries of an organization, as well as decisions involving inter-firm coordination. The journal promotes research advancing decision making at the interfaces of business functions and organizational boundaries. The journal also seeks articles extending established lines of work assuming the results of the research have the potential to substantially impact either decision making theory or industry practice. Ground-breaking research articles that enhance managerial understanding of decision making processes and stimulate further research in multi-disciplinary domains are particularly encouraged.
