United Network for Organ Sharing will soon begin piloting phase II of an offer filters project that will allow kidney transplant programs to bypass donor offers they do not want to receive through custom-designed, multi-criteria filters.
A new test type has been added and an existing test type has been updated in DonorNet® to capture information regarding donor COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) antigen and antibody testing.
New data collection elements have been added to DonorNet® XML schema to capture information regarding donor COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) testing.
Effective May 6, 2020, a transplant program reactivating a liver transplant candidate to a MELD or PELD status in Waitlist is no longer required to input updated lab values to support the listing.
Phase II of the offer filters pilot project will start later this year.
Participation has previously been limited to kidney and liver transplantation.
