The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) is charged with evaluating the performance of both organ procurement organizations (OPOs) and transplant programs. This webinar will review the donor conversion and the donor yield metrics produced by the SRTR, with a special focus on the how the SRTR’s risk adjustment models work to adjust the evaluations for differences in donor case mix across the various OPOs. The webinar will be tailored to audiences with little/no statistical background.

Target Audience:

Members of the donation and transplantation community serving diverse populations to include administrators, coordinators, physicians, nurses, surgeons, managers, quality improvement specialists, social workers, and other donation and transplantation center professionals and their colleagues.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of the webinar, participants should be able to

Describe the various metrics produced by the SRTR in their evaluation of OPO performance and where to find the published results.
Identify where to find, and how to interpret, the risk adjustment models the SRTR uses to adjust for differences in case mix across the various OPOs.
