Launching an NRP program requires more than clinical staffing — it takes strategy, structure, and alignment with your donation and transplant ecosystem. IPC partners with OPOs to co-develop turnkey NRP solutions, from protocol design to team training and QA/QI integration.
We help OPOs plan and operationalize DCD protocols that are ethical, efficient, and built for long-term impact — so every donor opportunity receives the support it deserves.
We help hospitals design, launch, and optimize NRP workflows that are ethical, efficient, and clinically sound — with the right people, training, and support in place from day one.
IPC’s NRP Program Development service is tailored to the unique operational and ethical landscape of organ procurement organizations. Our team works alongside OPO leaders, transplant partners, and cardiac surgeons to co-build programs that support DCD heart and abdominal recoveries with precision.
Services include:
Protocol design and ethical review alignment
Simulation training for procurement and transplant staff
Cross-team communication workflows (OPO, OR, transplant)
Metrics tracking, QA/QI integration, and case documentation
Coordination strategies with transplant centers and OR teams
This is more than staffing — it’s the strategic infrastructure your OPO needs to implement NRP safely, efficiently, and at scale.
NRP (Normothermic Regional Perfusion) is a powerful advancement in DCD organ recovery — but launching a program demands more than staffing alone. At IPC, we partner with OPOs and transplant hospitals to deliver full-scope NRP development solutions, including protocol design, staffing models, and real-time clinical execution.
From regulatory readiness to field-deployable perfusionists, we help you build an ethical, efficient, and scalable NRP workflow — faster, safer, and with fewer operational gaps.
IPC’s NRP Solutions are purpose-built for OPOs and transplant centers seeking to adopt or expand NRP/DCD protocols with clinical confidence and operational discipline. We don’t just show up with staffing—we co-develop the program infrastructure to ensure long-term success.
Each engagement includes:
Real-time clinical perfusion staffing for NRP cases
Simulation-based training for OPO teams and OR staff
Protocol design and implementation support
Documentation and QA/QI structure integration
Communication workflows between perfusion, transplant, and donor teams
NRP cases carry extraordinary clinical and ethical complexity. IPC is built to manage both — combining precision-trained clinicians with systems-level expertise to ensure your NRP program meets today’s demands and tomorrow’s standards.
IPC provides turnkey NRP program development — including protocol creation, simulation training, workflow mapping, and clinical deployment. We’re a partner in building sustainable transplant infrastructure, not just a staffing vendor. Our support includes custom circuitry and state-of-the-art equipment designed to meet the specific needs of your program, ensuring clinical precision and long-term reliability.
Yes. IPC helps hospitals and organ procurement organizations at every stage, from early planning and protocol design to first-case execution and scale-up. Our solutions are designed to reduce guesswork and accelerate readiness.
We provide structed simulation training, 25 hours worth of didactic CME training, and access to our NRP medical director for further consultation.
Absolutely. We tailor every solution to your team’s structure. Our model is flexible, scalable, and designed to fit your system. IPC’s NRP team actively engages in research and literature to ensure we maintain up-to-date best practices.
Hospitals and organ procurement organizations achieve quicker implementation, enhanced team alignment, reduced initial financial burden, and more consistent NRP case results — leading to improved donor organ preservation, smoother workflows, and enhanced transplant success.
From first case to full-scale rollout, IPC is your partner in designing, staffing, and supporting NRP success. Tell us where you are in the process — and we’ll help you take the next step.
