Organ procurement organizations struggle to maintain patient safety compliance and avoid federal decertification

Organ procurement organizations (OPOs) face critical pressure to demonstrate consistent patient safety protocols and regulatory compliance, or risk losing federal certification and the ability to operate across multiple states. Current compliance management systems fail to prevent safety failures that trigger HHS decertification, disrupting organ donation networks across entire regions and leaving transplant programs without procurement capabilities. OPO leadership needs urgent solutions to audit, remediate, and continuously monitor safety practices before federal intervention occurs.
