Implementation date
June 13, 2024
At-a-glance
The Offer Filters tool will become available for heart and liver transplant programs in UNet on June 13. Offer Filters adds data-driven, multi-criteria filters to organ offers at a program level. This will enable transplant programs to filter offers they would not usually accept and help organ procurement organizations (OPOs) find an accepting candidate more quickly.
On the implementation date, UNet Site Security Administrators will need to create organ specific groups in Security Administration for individuals who need access to the Offer Filters Manager application. Access is managed on an organ-by-organ basis, users with access to the Offer Filters Manager for other organs will need to be granted access for the new organ types.
OPOs also have a new workflow in DonorNet® when they make electronic offers on liver and heart matches.
What you need to do
Transplant programs:
Review the education resources in UNOS Connect.
Transplant programs can use the Offer Filters Explorer in the Data Services Portal to view and modify recommended filters or create filters. Filters created in the explorer will not impact organ offers that come into your program.
Use the Offer Filters Manager in Secure EnterpriseSM to create filters, modify filters and turn filters on or off. The Offer Filters Manager has been pre-populated with your program’s model-recommended filters and the filters have been turned off by default.
UNet Site Security Administrators can grant access to the Offer Filters Manager and the Data Services Portal applications in UNet. If you are unsure of your UNet Security Administrator, call the UNet Help Desk at 1-800-978-4334 or email [email protected].
OPOs:
OPO users will not need to make any changes to their process. The workflow in DonorNet has been enhanced with feedback from the community and will be present when sending notifications.
