Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) Modernization

Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) Modernization

The OPTN links organ donation and transplantation professionals throughout the United States to increase transplants and donations and help people with organ failure live healthier lives. HRSA is modernizing the OPTN to strengthen patient safety, improve accountability, and ensure the national organ procurement and transplant system can meet the needs of patients and families today and into the future.

HRSA’s modernization approach is grounded in a simple principle: to modernize the OPTN, the federal government must modernize how OPTN services are structured, delivered, and overseen.
