Organ Donation: Assessing Performance of Organ Procurement Organizations

  Premium   Download PDF Now (13 pages)
Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date April 8, 1998
Report No. T-HEHS-98-131
Subject
Summary:

Although advancements in organ transplant technology have increased the number of patients who could benefit from transplants, the supply of organs has not kept pace, and the gap between transplant demand and organ supply continues to widen. GAO has issued several reports in recent years examining the equity of organ allocation decisions, variations in patient waiting times, and the lack of adequate measures to assess organ procurement effectiveness. Most recently, GAO examined the approaches for assessing the effectiveness of organ procurement organizations in increasing the organ supply. (See GAO/HEHS-98-26, Nov. 1997.) This testimony draws on that report and discusses (1) whether the current standard for assessing organ procurement organizations' effectiveness appropriately measures the extent to which they are maximizing their ability to identify, procure, and transplant organs and tissues and (2) alternatives to the current standard that could be more effective.
