Every organ transplant involves the efforts of multiple professionals employed by different organizations. All of them are expected to follow policies and standards to ensure consistency and quality in transplantation.
UNOS has two fundamental roles in national transplant policymaking:
- Through our voluntary board of directors and committees, UNOS sets, reviews and improves transplant policy so that it best balances equity with utility.
- UNOS monitors member compliance with policy and issues that might affect the safety of patients or living donors, helping members to improve performance. Reference the Evaluation Plan to learn how your organization can remain in compliance with all policies.
