Ad Hoc Systems Performance Committee
The OPTN Ad Hoc Committee on Systems Performance focused on studying methods and tools for driving collaborative performance improvement in transplant systems. The Committee consisted of three standing workgroups. Each studied existing metrics and effective practices and recommended new or updated ways to assess and improve performance. The workgroups shared recommendations and sought additional input from the donation and transplant community at a public meeting in March 2019.
