The Alliance

National Leadership Councils

The Alliance is proud to host three national leadership councils, comprised of representatives from diverse disciplines and levels of leadership across the donation and transplantation continuum. Together, they give of their time and expertise to equip a modern profession of lifesavers through the development of scalable, targeted solutions for the community of practice.

Artificial Intelligence Transplant and Donation Resource Collaborative

The Artificial Intelligence Transplant & Donation Resource Collaborative, is a national, multi-stakeholder initiative to accelerate the effective use of artificial intelligence (AI) in organ donation and transplantation. This effort will convene experts across sectors to coordinate, share, and align AI-driven initiatives that have the potential to transform the donation–transplantation ecosystem.

National Transplant & Donation Quality Collaborative

The National Transplant & Donation Quality Collaborative was established in response to growing recognition of critical needs and gaps in quality efforts across transplant programs and organ procurement organizations. By bringing together diverse voices and perspectives, this Collaborative seeks to align stakeholders around shared goals in advancing quality as a specialty within donation and transplantation – strengthening competencies, standardizing practices, and elevating systems that ultimately benefit patients, families, and the professionals who serve them.

Transplant Payer Collaborative

The Transplant Payer Collaborative (TPC) is established under the auspices of The Alliance to create a platform for dialogue and collaboration among key stakeholders in the field of transplantation, including payers, transplant programs, and other relevant organizations. Our primary purpose is to educate and engage these stakeholders to advance best practices, ensure equitable access to transplantation, and improve patient outcomes.
