Increasing the number of transplants in the United States
2016 in review
Liver recipient Todd Poe was one of the record-breaking number of people to get an organ transplant in 2016. Now he’s back at work, promoting organ donation, and enjoying time with his wife and daughters.
More than 33K transplants performed annually for first time in US, thanks to increased donations
Organ transplants performed in the United States in 2016 reached a new record high for the fourth consecutive year. The growth in overall transplants was largely driven by an increase of 9.2 percent in the number of deceased donors from 2015 to 2016, continuing a six-year trend of annual increases.
White House Organ Summit
UNOS’ CEO and Chief Medical Officer attended the White House Organ Summit and announced new technology and data tools to increase the number of transplants done in the United States. These technology initiatives will speed the matching process and support the work of hospitals and OPOs to get transplants to more patients.
Increasing kidney utilization
Nineteen transplant hospitals were selected to participate in the first phase of a pilot study implementing practices found to be effective for using kidneys that are not accepted as often by other programs. They are also testing potential improvements to the program performance review process.
Thousands more men, women and children are receiving a life-saving transplant opportunity each year.
Adult heart allocation system approved
The board approved significant changes to heart policy that establish six new medical urgency status levels to replace the current three used to prioritize adult heart candidates. Each status assesses candidates’ relative risk of dying short-term without a transplant.
TransNet requirements improve safety
Policy will require all organ procurement organizations to use TransNet, UNOS’ barcode scanning technology, at the point of organ recovery to help label, package and track organs and other biologic materials being shipped for transplantation beginning in June 2017.
UNOS technology wins innovation award
UNOS received an award for the launch of a data portal that provides organ donation and transplant professionals nationwide with timely and convenient access to critical information and data. It offers members self-service access to more timely data and data visualization functionality.
Josh’s List goes viral
UNOS’ first PSA in over 20 years garnered more than 50 million views. The heartwarming video tells the story of Josh whose organs helped save several others. Thanks to a lifesaving heart transplant, one recipient uses his second chance to complete the bucket list Josh left behind.
Watch and share this video to raise awareness about organ transplantation.
Fallen Soldier Donor Memorial Unveiling
The Fallen Soldier Donor Memorial honors members of our military, who have made organ and tissue donation their last courageous act of service so that others may live long and healthy lives in a free and safe world. Unveiled in November, the statue resides in the National Donor Memorial at UNOS.
Ever wondered how UNOS’ computer system matches donated organs with candidates waiting for a transplant? This in-depth article from STAT news explains how it works.

Financials
UNOS operates on a fiscal year schedule beginning October 1 and ending September 30. This schedule coincides with the federal budget cycle, as UNOS holds the federal contract to operate the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN).
The OPTN is a cost-sharing and cost-reimbursement contract in which the federal government contributed $5,109,985 in federal appropriations and the transplant community contributed $39,786,934 of the $44,896,919 program in fiscal year 2015.
OPTN funding represents 79.0% of UNOS revenues. The remaining 21.0% of revenues comprised UNOS fees, data services, meeting registration fees and charitable contributions. These additional revenues provide resources needed to support the OPTN contract and supports the UNOS mission.

Thank you to our supporters
The lifesaving work of organ transplant and procurement wouldn’t be possible without the philanthropic support and dedication of our supporters and friends across the United States. We are inspired by the generosity of those who have invested in UNOS’ lifesaving mission. On behalf of the UNOS team, the healthcare professionals of the organ transplant and procurement community, and the children and adults who have received the lifesaving gift of an organ transplant, thank you.
