DONOR READINESS SCORE
Your donor search results in MatchSource include a Donor
Readiness Score (DRS) to help make the donor selection
process more predictable ⸀ The DRS indicates a percent
likelihood of availability at CT based on more than 20
data points.
It’s a useful tiebreaker in cases with equally matched donors ⸀
You can also use the DRS to help you decide how many donors
to request for CT based on the scores you see ⸀
