3 Proposed Recommendation Due to the misalignment and inconsistencies between CMS certification regulations and outcomes requirements for transplant centers (TCs) and organ procurement organizations (OPOs), the ACOT recommends that the Secretary direct CMS to confer with HRSA, OPTN, SRTR, the OPO community, and transplant center representatives to determine appropriate requirements for OPOs and TCs that unify mutual goals of increasing organ donation, improving recipient outcomes and reducing organ wastage. The report will include, but is not limited to, improved risk- adjustment methodologies for TCs and a statistically sound method for yield measure for OPOs.
