Organ transplant network would get new funding and public data dashboard.
This bill would let the Department of Health and Human Services collect fees from organizations that manage organ transplant lists. These fees would help fund the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), which matches organs with patients. The bill would also require the OPTN to offer updated communication services. It would also ask the OPTN to consider creating a public dashboard to share transplant statistics more often.
Today, the Department of Health and Human Services does not explicitly collect fees from organizations that manage organ transplant lists. The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) is required to provide a "24-hour telephone service." If this bill becomes law, HHS would be able to collect registration fees from OPTN members for each patient placed on the transplant list, with these fees supporting OPTN operations. The OPTN would also update its service requirement to include "24-hour telephone or information technology service" and consider creating a public dashboard to share transplant statistics more frequently.
