UNOS staff routinely receives questions from OPTN/UNOS members about the definition of organ transplant, including what should be reported as the transplant date, especially in regards to meeting reporting requirements in UNetSM. Members report that there is a disconnect between the current definitions and actual clinical practices, and these proposed definitions will help bridge the disconnect and clarify the policy requirements.
