Production
Since the long-lived NBC medical drama ER - Emergency Room 2009 drew to a close, was looking for a new medical series for CBS fill the gap. Carol Barbee was then tasked with the help of former transplant surgeon Steve Boman to develop a pilot episode for a drama series about a transplant hospital. Barbee decided the series from three perspectives - that of the donor, the recipient and the doctors - to talk about. The Handlungsort Pittsburgh was chosen on the basis that the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center ( UPMC ) is the world's leading transplant center. The accident that near the hospital rivers flow into the Allegheny and Monongahela River into the Ohio River serves as an allegory to the three perspectives from which the series is told. Barbee did her research for the series at the Cleveland Clinic with Dr. Gonzalo Gonzalez- Stawinski, who was also the lead actor Alex O'Loughlin as a mentor. Dr. Robert Kormos, co-director of the heart transplant station of UPMC, was also involved in the series. Thomas E. Starzl, a pioneer in transplantation medicine, who visited the set, serves as the inspiration for the fictional transplant pioneer, who turns out to be the father of Dr. Miranda Foster.
The pilot episode was filmed in Western Pennsylvania in March and April 2009, with the interior shots the closed Brownsville Tri-County Hospital and the David L. Lawrence Convention Center served. After the pilot episode was filmed and presented to the station, they first received a series order of thirteen episodes. A short time later Recasts have been made so Julia Ormond and Joaquim de Almeida were replaced with Alfre Woodard and Amber Clayton. Ultimately, the original movie pilot episode was dropped and a new episode filmed as a premiere episode. For the emergency room and the intensive care unit a highly technical Krankenhausset was built on the backlot of Paramount Pictures in Los Angeles, where later the interior shots were taken while the exterior shots further held in Pittsburgh.
