Donorpar

Donorpar is a term used in data management and health informatics to denote a standardized set of donor attributes used for matching, analytics, and reporting. The name is a contraction of donor and parameter.

Its primary purpose is to provide a consistent data model that can be shared across systems such as electronic health records, organ procurement organizations, and research databases. In organ transplantation, donorpar encodes attributes that influence compatibility assessments and logistics, while in blood and tissue donation it supports inventory and screening workflows.

A typical donorpar schema includes fields such as donor_id, donor_type, age, sex, blood_type, organ_available, ethnicity (optional), medical_status, consent_status, privacy_level, location, and time stamps. Derived metrics may include compatibility_score, urgency_score, and wait_time. Data stewardship practices emphasize privacy, de-identification, and regulatory compliance.

Usage and limitations: It supports automated matching algorithms but depends on data quality and standardization. Variants of donorpar exist across institutions, which can hinder interoperability. Policy can influence which fields are collected and how sensitive data are handled.
