“…LEADDR currently has multiple articles in various stages of publication: eleven published, one accepted, three under peer review, and nine publications in progress. 10,15,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Included in those projects is an ongoing interrupted time series evaluating the quantitative impact of legislative change on donation and transplantation rates. Intentionally, this data has not been reported at this time, based on experiences from other jurisdictions that the full impact of such a change often does not occur until three to five years post implementation.…”

In April 2019, the province of Nova Scotia became the first jurisdiction in North America to pass legislation that incorporated deemed consent for deceased organ donation. The reform included many other important updates, including the hierarchy for consent, enabled donor and recipient contact, and mandatory referral of potential deceased donors. Additionally, system reforms were implemented to improve the deceased donation system in Nova Scotia. A collection of national colleagues identified the magnitude of the opportunity to develop a comprehensive strategy to measure and evaluate the impact of the legislative and system reforms. This article describes the successful development of a consortium from both national and provincial jurisdictions that included experts from a variety of backgrounds and clinical and administrative disciplines. In describing the creation of this group, we hope to offer our case example as a model for the evaluation of other health system reforms from a multidisciplinary perspective.
