Who gets a heart? Rationing and rationalizing in heart transplantation.

M D Allen1, D P Fishbein, M McBride, M Ellison, O P Daily.   

Abstract

National policy on organ transplantation is made by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), a representative body composed of health care professionals and patients. Standardized criteria for determining when a patient should be placed on the waiting list for heart transplantation are now in effect nationwide. Current and future directions to maximize the utilization of available donated organs are explored.
