Singing River Health System and MORA launch InVita's iReferral software to modernize donor referral processes. * June 18, 2026 iReferral(R) improves organ and tissue donation processes to help save and heal more lives. Singing River Health System, in partnership with the Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency (MORA), the federally designated Organ Procurement Organization (OPO), has recently launched InVita Healthcare Technologies' iReferral(R) software across all three of its hospitals: Pascagoula Hospital, Ocean Springs Hospital, and Singing River Gulfport. This implementation reflects MORA's continued work to expand iReferral across its donor service area and supports a more consistent, efficient donor referral process throughout its hospital network. With more than 100,000 Americans waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant, timely donor referrals remain critical. In many hospitals, that referral begins with notifying the OPO of a potential donor, a step that still relies on manual, phone-based workflows that can add to clinical staff workloads, slow the referral, and increase the chance that a donation opportunity is missed. iReferral modernizes this process by replacing these manual phone-based notifications with real-time automation that applies clinical criteria to identify potential organ and tissue donors. iReferral securely sends each referral to MORA's iTransplant(R) system, which InVita also provides. "We're proud to continue our work with MORA and to extend that collaboration across Singing River Health System's hospitals," said Wade Liu, President of Human Biologics, InVita Healthcare Technologies. "Expanding this work across the region builds a more reliable path to donation, so more patients in need can ultimately receive the transplants that heal and save lives." Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services regulations require hospitals to notify their designated OPO of every potential donor. iReferral supports this requirement by embedding donor-related clinical alerts into Singing River's existing EHR workflows through an Epic FHIR implementation, helping ensure appropriate referrals are triggered consistently and without the need for phone calls. This automation reduces administrative tasks for hospital and OPO teams, freeing up more time to support critically ill patients and their families while helping ensure donation opportunities are identified and acted upon. "Our nurses are often at the center of coordinating care during some of the most critical moments in a patient's journey," said Dr. Rachel Kemp, Chief Nursing Officer for Singing River Health System. "By automating the donor referral process, iReferral helps reduce administrative tasks and allows our clinical teams to focus on patient care and family support. This technology aligns with our mission to improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve by helping ensure donation opportunities are identified efficiently. We are proud to partner with MORA in adopting a solution that honors the gift of donation." "At MORA, every donor opportunity matters," stated Kevin Stump, MORA's President/CEO. "The implementation of iReferral strengthens our ability to work alongside healthcare professionals to identify potential donors quickly and efficiently, allowing us to honor the gift of donation and maximize the number of lives impacted through transplantation." Used by hundreds of hospitals nationwide, iReferral has been shown to significantly increase donor referrals, organ donors, organs recovered, and organs transplanted, ultimately helping save more lives.

Singing River Health System has launched InVita Healthcare Technologies' iReferral software across its three Mississippi hospitals in partnership with the Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency. The software modernises donor referral processes by replacing manual phone-based notifications with real-time automation that identifies potential organ and tissue donors. iReferral integrates with Singing River's Epic electronic health records system through FHIR implementation, automatically triggering referrals based on clinical criteria. This reduces administrative workload for clinical staff whilst helping ensure donation opportunities are not missed. The system securely transmits referrals to MORA's iTransplant system. With over 100,000 Americans awaiting organ transplants, the technology aims to improve compliance with federal regulations requiring hospitals to notify organ procurement organisations of potential donors. InVita reports that iReferral has significantly increased donor referrals and organs transplanted across hundreds of US hospitals.
