Operations and Safety Committee

The Operations and Safety Committee reviews de-identified transplant and donation-related adverse events and near misses reported to the OPTN in order to identify potential network improvements and revisions to OPTN policies that may prevent future such occurrences. The committee may develop and recommend specific proposed improvements and policies or it may recommend to the Board that other Committees develop them. The goal of the committee's work is to identify gaps in OPTN policy and processes from a network perspective for the purpose of increasing safety.
