HRSA's new Organ Transplant Center Data Dashboard

Organ Donation and Transplantation[/size]HRSA’s Health Systems Bureau manages the nation’s Organ Donation and Transplantation program. This program works to extend and enhance the lives of individuals with end-stage organ failure for whom an organ transplant is the most appropriate therapeutic treatment.
[/size]HRSA makes available to the public both data and data visualizations on organ donation and transplantation. The aim of this information is to improve transparency around organ transplantation activities across the nation for the public.
[/size]The presented data are collected through a number of means by the nation’s Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN). HRSA encourages viewers of this data to appreciate that these data are complex, and that additional data, information, and context may be necessary to properly address key policy issues around the nation’s organ transplantation systems. HRSA recommends users thoroughly review the important contextual information provided in the "Frequently Asked Questions" document.
[/size]Contact Information: If you have any questions or feedback on how we can improve these dashboards, please email AskDoT@hrsa.gov with the subject ‘OPTN Dashboard.’

[/size]N.B.: Interesting highlights when choosing "Organ Donation" => "Organ Donor Demographics" => "Living Donors":
[/size]- 36,377 of us in the past six years.
[/size]- Female/male split: 23,130/13,247 or 64%/36%, almost exactly 2:1. This ratio is nearly reversed for the recipients of our gifts every one of these years.
[/size]- Big drop in donor numbers in 2020, understandable, but a huge drop in 2022, no clear reason?
[/size]- Amazingly, 2,308 living donors did so without health insurance.
[/size]  No doubt much more to be discovered.
