On Thursday, Jan. 9, several OPTN policy updates will be implemented to eliminate the use of DSAs from heart transplantation and replace them with a 250 nautical mile circle.
The new policy establishes new distribution areas based on the donor location and is projected to increase equity in transplant access for candidates regardless of where they live or list for a transplant.
With the new application programming interfaces, users no longer need to log into UNet, navigate to TIEDI and save or upload files manually.
The addition of pancreas data was based on community feedback. UNOS researchers continue to develop new tools to assist members in their work to increase transplants.
We plan to make changes to the KPD system to improve the way it prioritizes candidate-donor matches, especially for hard-to-match pairs.
