https://www.transplantpro.org/news/education/new-living-donor-educational-resource-available-nov-22/New living donor educational resource available Nov. 22The policy regarding minimum requirements for living kidney donor follow-up was changed in Feb. 2013 and the minimum requirements for living liver donor follow-up were established in Sept. 2014 (read policy notice containing both of these changes).To help transplant professionals comply with this change, UNOS developed a number of educational resources. Despite these educational efforts and a marked increase in follow-up form reporting percentages, many transplant programs are still falling short of the required minimum submission thresholds.To help programs become fully compliant in living donor follow-up reporting, we developed an e-learning module that you can access from UNOS Connect beginning Nov. 22.Contents include: • Interactive learning module • Video • Suggested best practices • Links to existing OPTN resourcesPolicy 18.5 outlines data submission requirements for living kidney and living liver donation.
