Résumé
The United States organ transplantation system has recently reached a historic milestone of a cumulative 1 million transplants. Despite this considerable success in providing life-saving organ transplants to patients with end organ failure, there are ample opportunities for improvement, particularly with regard to achieving equity. Recognizing this, Congress directed the National Institutes of Health to fund the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in conducting a study on deceased donor organ procurement, allocation, and distribution, recommending ways to improve equity and accountability. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine study committee's report, Realizing the Promise of Equity in the Organ Transplantation System , reached multiple conclusions and agreed on 14 recommendations for action that can be grouped into 3 areas: (1) achieving equity, (2) improving system performance, and (3) increasing the utilization of available organs. Here, we review overarching areas for improvement, highlighting key recommendations, and suggest implementing actions.
