Data Point | Source | Information | Availability (e.g., public, upon request, not public) |
---|---|---|---|
Organ utilization: Organs recovered for transplant, transplanted by donation service area (DSA) | Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients | Data on the number of organs, by type, that are authorized and successfully transplanted | Public |
Number of recovered organ donors, by race/ethnicity (%) by donation service area (DSA) | Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients | Data on the demographics of organ donor patients; provides insight for researchers tracking procurement and transplantation equity | Public, suppressed if <10 patients annually within DSA |
Number of vented patients referred to OPO care stratified by demographic | OPO, currently collected by OPTN contractor on the DNR | Data on the demographics of potential organ donor patients; provides insight for researchers tracking procurement and transplantation equity, quality of care and access to care Counts number of patient interactions for regulators |
Public, suppressed if <10 patients annually within DSA |
Number of patients meeting referral criteria without appropriate hospital referral (adverse event) | OPO, currently collected by OPTN contractor on the DNR | Data on the demographics of potential organ donor patients; provides insight for researchers tracking procurement and transplantation equity , quality of care, access to care Counts adverse events for regulators |
Not public at DSA level (small number of patients), should be public when aggregated at hospital system level/transplant system level |
Onsite patient evaluations (sometimes called “referral response”) rate | OPO, currently collected at the organizational level but not reported to OPTN | Provides insight for researchers tracking procurement and transplantation equity, quality of care, access to care Provides quality of care data for regulators |
Public |
Onsite response to referred patient within 60 minutes | OPO, currently collected at the organizational level but not reported to OPTN | Provides insight for researchers tracking procurement and transplantation equity, quality of care, access to care Provides quality of care data for regulators Allows hospitals to validate OPO quality of care for patients referred |
Public |
Rate of referred patients per 100 CALC deaths (using seasonally-adjusted forecasts of CALC deaths) | OPO, CMS denominator | Provides insight for researchers tracking procurement and transplantation equity, quality of care, access to care Provides quality of care data and measures effectiveness of OPO referral criteria for regulators |
Public |
Rate of referred patients ruled medically suitable | OPO, currently collected by OPTN contractor on the DNR | Provides insight for researchers tracking procurement and transplantation equity, quality of care, access to care Provides quality of care data and measures effectiveness of OPO referral criteria for regulators |
