Expedited Placement Concept Paper
Solicited feedback on several concepts
Committee is using the feedback as it works to develop a proposal for January 2019
The Committee distributed a concept paper in the spring to get feedback on several concepts. There was general support for developing an expedited placement system but varying opinions on how the system would work.

3. Expedited Placement Project
Focus initially on liver allocation
Develop criteria for both the in-OR and pre-OR triggers
Evaluate what the “lists” might look like for both scenarios (e.g. quicker acceptance needed for in-OR turndown while pre-OR might be based on donor characteristics/acceptance history)
The Committee is focusing initially on liver allocation in order to develop a framework that could eventually be used for the other organ systems.

4. Expedited Placement Project
Data requested to review “probability of transplant” model for pre-OR trigger
Compare results to the donor profiles developed by the Liver Committee
The Committee will be reviewing data on the probability of transplant model to help identify “pre-OR” triggers.
