The network must consider a public transplant dashboard
What the document says“consider establishing a dashboard to display the number of transplants performed, the types of transplants performed, the number and types of organs that entered the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network system and failed to be transplanted, and other appropriate statistics, which should be updated more frequently than annually.”
Section 6502 adds a new subparagraph (Q) requiring the network to consider setting up a dashboard showing the number and types of transplants performed, the number and types of organs that entered the system and were not transplanted, and other appropriate statistics, updated more often than once a year.
What the document actually says“consider establishing a dashboard to display the number of transplants performed, the types of transplants performed, the number and types of organs that entered the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network system and failed to be transplanted, and other appropriate statistics, which should be updated more frequently than annually.”
The network must think about setting up a dashboard. It would show how many transplants were done, and how many organs went unused.
A dashboard is a page of live numbers. The count of organs not used is the hard one. Yearly figures are too slow to act on.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
