Transplant hospital definition

As a result of a change to the OPTN bylaws defining a transplant hospital, all transplant hospitals need to provide additional information to the OPTN or notify UNOS of their intention to separate into multiple member hospitals or merge an existing membership with another member hospital. UNOS is sending an application form to each member transplant hospital. A copy of the reference application form is available, and UNOS has also prepared a Frequently Asked Questions document to help members understand what to submit.

The following membership application forms, provided to show what data elements are currently collected, address membership both in UNOS and in the national OPTN, which UNOS manages under federal contract. Refer to the bylaws for further clarification regarding requirement specifics.
