Policy Oversight Committee - Proposal to Improve the Variance Appeal Process Affected Policy: 3.4 (Organ Procurement, Distribution and Alternative Systems for
Organ Distribution or Allocation)
A variance is a policy experiment conducted by a member of the OPTN to improve organ procurement and allocation. For ease in reading, this proposal uses the term variance to describe it and its types. A review of variance policies revealed that most are silent on the process for appealing decisions of the committee or Board of Directors. This proposal attends to this deficiency. As such, the proposed modifications describe how an OPTN member may appeal a variance decision, and the role of the relevant committee and POC in the appeal process.
Note: The modifications do not impact the current operation of existing variances.
