Short Answer
The estimated potential patient impact shown on the certificate is calculated using the BDOI® published impact methodology and the donation information recorded for the donor.
Detailed Explanation
BDOI® may assign an estimated potential impact range to different donation types.
The certificate then uses the applicable donation information to present a combined estimate.
For example, if different donation types have different potential impact ranges, the certificate can show those categories separately and calculate an overall minimum and maximum.
The resulting figure is an estimate of potential impact, not a confirmed number of individual patients treated.
The calculation should therefore be understood as a recognition and awareness measure rather than a clinical outcome measurement.
Key Points
- The calculation is methodology-based.
- Donation types may have different impact estimates.
- The certificate can combine those estimates.
- The result may be displayed as a minimum-to-maximum range.
- It is not a confirmed patient count.
❤️ Motivation
Your donation is one action—but its potential to help can reach far beyond that single moment.
