recordkeeping and reporting
requirements in order to perform the
functions related to organ
transplantation under contract to the
Department of Health and Human

to match donor organs with recipients,
to monitor compliance of member
organizations with OPTN rules and
requirements, to ensure that all
qualified entities are accepted for
membership in the OPTN, and to ensure
patient safety.
