First approved by the OPTN/UNOS Board of Directors in 2004, the OPTN Evaluation Plan provides guidance to OPTN member transplant centers, OPOs and histocompatibility labs on how UNOS, as the OPTN contractor, assesses member compliance with OPTN policies and bylaws. The Plan includes specific expectations for members to remain in compliance and explains issues found by UNOS site surveyors during organ allocation reviews. It is updated periodically to reflect the latest changes to policies and bylaws. All changes are recorded in the Evaluation Plan Change Log, which provides links directly to the particular policy or bylaw. Reviewing this information will help members stay up-to-date so they can revise their operational compliance procedures as needed.
