Organ Procurement and Transplantation: Assessing Current Policies and the Potential Impact of the Dhhs Final Rule


Overview

Each day, nearly 60 Americans receive a transplanted organ -- but another 11 Americans die that same day waiting to receive a kidney, liver or other vital organ. While the number of donors is rising, it's simply not fast enough to meet the demand. Moreover, high profile cases raise concerns over access, rationing and overall fairness of the procurement and transplantation system. Intended to bring about improvement, the 1998 Final Rule regulations ultimately sparked additional controversy. This new IOM study presents original analyses of the data, assesses medical practices and discusses social and economic observations.
