Information Collection Request Title:
Data System for Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network OMB No. 0915-0157-Extension.
Abstract:
Section 372 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 274) requires that the Secretary, by contract, provide for the establishment and operation of an Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN). This is a request for an extension of the current OPTN data collection forms associated with an individual's clinical characteristics at the time of registration, transplant, and follow-up after the transplant. Data are collected from transplant hospitals, organ procurement organizations, and histocompatibility laboratories. The information is used to indicate the disease severity of transplant candidates, to monitor compliance of member organizations with OPTN rules and requirements, and to report periodically on the clinical and scientific status of organ donation and transplantation in this country.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information:
Data are used to develop transplant, donation, and allocation policies, to determine whether institutional members are complying with policy, to determine member-specific performance, to ensure patient safety, and to fulfill the requirements of the OPTN Final Rule. The practical utility of the data collection is further enhanced by requirements that the OPTN data must be made available, consistent with applicable laws, for use by OPTN members, the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, the Department of Health and Human Services, and members of the public for evaluation, research, patient information, and other important purposes.
Burden hours have increased since the last reporting period due to an increase in the number of transplant programs for some organs and the overall increase in transplant surgeries at existing programs as well. An increased number of transplants results in an increasing number of forms that require completion while the amount of time it takes to complete the forms remains the same.
Likely Respondents:
Transplant programs, organ procurement organizations, and histocompatibility laboratories.
Burden Statement:
Burden, in this context, means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are summarized in the table below.
