Presented on: Tuesday, June 28, 2022
The Alliance Conversation Series brings you cost-free, fast-paced collaborative opportunities that highlight successful donation and transplantation practices across the country. Through shared insight, multidisciplinary experts identify solutions to critical challenges affecting the community of practice and actively share them for open discussion and broader knowledge of effective practices.

Sessions are designed to be approximately 30-45 minutes in length and encourage real-time feedback and participation from viewers.
Overview: Recent advancement in organ perfusion technology has led to the increasing transplantation of marginal donor organs and allowed for distant procurement of allografts beyond the time limitation of cold storage. This rapidly advancing machine perfusion technology promises improved preservation, better assessment, and even reconditioning of organs before transplant. However, many questions remain to be resolved regarding implementing this technology.
Our speakers will discuss how OPOs, and Transplant Centers fit into the current landscape, and the opportunities both estates face, including the wide availability of machine perfusion devices, costs, reimbursement, staff training, and competencies.
- Identify how Organ Procurement Organizations and Transplant Centers fit into the current machine perfusion landscape.
- Describe the opportunities and impact machine perfusion has had on transplant medicine
- Interpret the costs, reimbursement associated with perfusion technologies.
- Design staff training and competencies necessary for continued growth in organ utilization.
Transplant Center Professionals, Organ Procurement Organization Professionals, Quality Improvement Professionals and Leadership, OPO and Transplant Center Leadership, Directors, Managers, Clinicians, Front-line staff and Individuals interested in improving relationships between OPO and Transplant programs
