Toolkits
United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) manages the nation’s organ transplant system as the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) under contract with the federal government. The goal of the OPTN is to increase the number of transplants, improve post-transplantation success rates, and promote patient safety.
In order to provide transplant professionals with the resources they need to meet the goals of the OPTN, UNOS has created transplantation toolkits.
These toolkits include a variety of guidance documents for transplant professionals including organ-specific policies, organ allocation calculators, and related educational resources. View our available toolkits below for the most up to date compliance information.
