UNOS Region 5 Collaborative – Summer 2022
The UNOS Region 5 Collaborative was a daylong forum organized by members of the region. Teams shared their unique expertise, research and experiences with each other in a coordinated, collective, and innovative environment. See presentation slides.
Highlights:
- COVID-19 Update
- CMS Final Rule
- NRP Heart and Liver
- UCSF Living Donor Advocate PDSA
- DEI Update/Ongoing Work
UNOS Region 5 Collaborative – Summer 2022 was generously supported by CareDx, with additional support from other sponsors. UNOS maintains a distinct separation between UNOS private and OPTN events. The UNOS Region 5 Collaborative is a UNOS private event and sponsorship does not carry over to the OPTN Region 5 Meeting.
