Organ Offering Scheme Algorithms
Benefits
The allocation algorithms enable quick processing of data to ensure that every precious organ donated, has the best possible chance of being transplanted successfully by an effective, fair, and transparent means. The algorithms combined with clinical guidance ensure a safe and effective way of offering organs for transplant to patients on the waiting list in a transparent and efficient way.
