More Money and More Miles: The Hidden Costs of Donor Procurement with the New Heart Allocation System
JOURNAL OF HEART AND LUNG TRANSPLANTATION(2020)
摘要
Following the 2018 UNOS change to the heart allocation system, the proportion of flights and distance traveled for organ procurements significantly increased across 5 moderate-high volume centers, nearly doubling the average travel cost for procurement. These findings may guide transplant centers, payers, and policy makers regarding necessary procurement resources. Further study is needed to determine how these changes may affect lower volume centers with fewer resources.
