Presentation Transcript

  1. Addressing HLA Typing Errors Histocompatibility Committee

  2. What problem will the proposal solve? • Incorrectly entered HLA data in UNet is a patient safety risk • Example: A23 instead of A32 • Creates system inefficiencies • increase cold ischemia time • increase discards • missed transplant opportunities

  3. What are the proposed solutions? 1 2 3

  4. How will members implement this proposal? • Members: understand new requirements of double entry • Labs: need to work with their OPO/Transplant Hospital if written agreement needs to be modified • OPOs: ensure process in place for submitting source documentation

  5. Double Entry Process

  6. How will the OPTN implement this proposal? • Programming – implement double entry model for all HLA fields in UNetSM • Education offering to members

  7. Questions?

  8. Extra Slides

  9. * New “critical discrepancy” definition
