TissueQA configured for birth tissue recovery
Birth tissue eligibility requires a custom SOP mapping. Maternal records, perinatal serology timelines, and obstetric history do not fit a standard musculoskeletal workflow. TissueQA was configured from scratch for this tissue type.
The context
Birth tissue recovery happens at the bedside during or immediately after delivery, inside a maternity ward rather than a hospital morgue or operating room. The recovery window is short. The donor record is a maternal medical history, not a deceased-donor chart. And the eligibility criteria mix obstetric clinical data — gestational age, delivery circumstances, maternal medications — with standard infectious disease panels.
Most donor management tools were built around musculoskeletal or cardiovascular tissue workflows. For this organization, that meant no dedicated digital tool existed to structure birth tissue eligibility review. Coordinators pulled information from maternal records manually, cross-referenced eligibility criteria from their SOPs by hand, and presented findings to the medical director without a structured summary. The review was consistent when the same experienced coordinator ran it. It was harder to keep consistent when staffing changed or when caseload increased.
The question this engagement explored: could TissueQA be configured from scratch for a tissue type it was not originally designed for, matching the organization's own birth tissue SOPs rather than a generic ruleset?
What we configured
The configuration work involved defining a custom field set for maternal records, including fields specific to obstetric history, perinatal serology, and delivery circumstances that have no equivalent in a standard donor chart. The organization's birth tissue SOPs were mapped section by section into TissueQA's matching layer, so every eligibility rule traced back to a specific SOP clause rather than a generic standard.
PARTIAL flag thresholds were set appropriate for birth tissue review: where incomplete maternal serology requires a different escalation path than a missing toxicology result in a musculoskeletal case. The medical director sign-off screen was configured to surface the maternal record source pages alongside the matched eligibility findings.
The workflow was kept close to how coordinators already worked. TissueQA was positioned as a structured review surface, not a replacement for coordinator judgment.
Capabilities deployed
- Custom field extraction tuned to maternal records and birth tissue-specific eligibility criteria
- SOP matching against the organization's own birth tissue procedures, not generic standards
- PARTIAL flag logic calibrated for perinatal serology gaps and incomplete obstetric history
- Citation links from every AI-surfaced finding to the specific source page in the maternal chart
- Medical director sign-off screen with AI recommendation, source citations, and reviewer override capture
- Audit trail recording the AI output, the coordinator review, and the qualified human decision
What the workflow now supports
With TissueQA configured for their tissue type, the organization has a structured review surface that travels with the birth tissue workflow rather than against it. Every eligibility finding surfaces with its source reference. Coordinators see which fields are complete, which are partial, and which require escalation before the case reaches the medical director. The medical director receives a cited summary rather than a compiled document.
The configuration is specific to their SOPs. Another organization doing birth tissue recovery with different criteria would require a different configuration. TissueQA does not impose a generic eligibility framework. It matches the one the organization already uses.
