Improving US Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network
This new law aims to streamline the national network responsible for organ procurement and transplantation. The changes are intended to improve system efficiency, potentially leading to better access to transplants and greater safety for patients awaiting life-saving procedures. The act also introduces independent oversight of the network's financing.
Key points
Strengthening oversight of the transplant network: Ensuring that network management is more transparent and efficient, potentially reducing organ waiting times.
Independent funding and control: Introducing separate agreements for network support and its board, aiming to increase accountability and transparency of expenditures.
Financial review: The Government Accountability Office (GAO) will conduct a detailed review of the network's historical financing, which should help identify any irregularities and improve financial management.
