The network must consider a public transplant dashboard
The document says “should”Who acts: Organ Procurement and Transplantation NetworkHow: statuteSec. 6502 in the PDF
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.”
That sentence, in plain words
The network must think about setting up a dashboard. It would show how many transplants were done, and how many organs went unused.
What this is about
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.

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
