What is an Account Executive?

LifeSource Account Executives (internally known as “Hospital Partner Liaisons”) play a vital role in saving lives before the donation process even begins. Their role of building and strengthening relationships with our hospital partners is the foundation for the experience of donor families and the donation process.

The onsite presence of Account Executives provides guidance and support for hospital care teams. This might include developing process improvements or providing education and training to consistently improve the donation process. This support and investment of care teams increases understanding of, and advocacy for donation.

Account Executives use a multitude of skills to continuously improve the donation process. Some of these include:

• Working collaboratively with hospital leaders, administration, management, physicians, and hospital team members to develop comprehensive donation policies, procedures, strategic plans, and resources.

• Identifying, developing and implement education, based on national best practices, current outcomes-based literature reviews, LifeSource and hospital policy and practice.
• Utilizing data to improve the donation process and outcomes.
• Ensuring respectful, solution-oriented communication and service for successful execution of donation processes.
• Collaborating with colleagues to execute successful donor family and ambassador events and activities, including driving effective utilization of LifeSource ambassadors for hospital education opportunities.
• Strategically assess and proactively respond to individual hospital team member needs in areas including the donation process, quality assurance, donation policy development and revision, and process improvements.

LifeSource supports hospital systems throughout our service area (MN, ND, SD), with Account Executives working in Bismarck, Fargo, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, Duluth, St. Cloud, Rochester and the Twin Cities.

The field of donation continues to offer me unlimited opportunities to advocate, care for patients and families, and support professional partners.
