  1. Regional Update from the OPTN/UNOS Transplant Administrators Committee

  2. TAC Charge The Transplant Administrators Committee considers issues related to the administration of transplant programs and provides input to other Committees and the Board with regard to the potential impact of developing policies and other OPTN requirements on transplant program operations. Through non-OPTN resources provided by UNOS as available, the Committee develops initiatives and tools that foster effective transplant program administration (e.g., the annual UNOS Transplant Management Forum, the transplant program staffing survey, and the standardized payer Request for Information (RFI) tool).

  3. Staffing Survey • Survey was released February, 2012 • New this year are two ventricular assist device (VAD)–related fields: the number of post-VAD implant clinic visits in 2011 and the number of VAD coordinator FTEs • Increased response last year in almost all organs • Benchmarking data is only available to those programs completing their own information • Survey will close June 30, 2012

  4. Payer Work Group • The updated UNOS RFI for 2012 is now available.  Please work directly with personnel assigned to completing it to ensure accuracy. • The RFI is available on the Transplant Administrators web site at https://portal.unos.org/. • 2012 Payer Meeting, July 2012 in Chicago • Please send questions/suggestions regarding the RFI to the UNetsm Help Desk at UNethelpdesk2@unos.org or to Angel Carroll at angel.carroll@unos.org.
