The only national patient waiting list and an online database system, called UNet, that links all of the professionals involved in the donation and transplantation system for the collection, storage, analysis, and publication of all OPTN data pertaining to the patient waiting list, organ matching, and transplants. The system contains data regarding every organ donation and transplant event occurring in the U.S. since October 1, 1987. UNet is a fail-safe, 24/7, secure Internet-based transplant information database created to enable the nation''''s organ transplant institutions to: * register patients for transplants * match donated organs to waiting patients * manage the time-sensitive, life-critical data of all patients, before and after their transplants Data reports are available by type: National Data, Regional Data, State Data, Center Data, Build Advanced Report, and Annual Report Data. UNet is being used right now by all of the nation''''s organ transplant programs, organ procurement organizations, and histocompatibility (tissue typing) laboratories working cooperatively to efficiently share a limited number of donated organs among thousands of patients.

United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is the private, non-profit organization that manages the nation''s organ transplant system under contract with the federal government. UNOS is involved in many aspects of the organ transplant and donation process: * Managing the national transplant waiting list, matching donors to recipients 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. * Maintaining the database that contains all organ transplant data for every transplant event that occurs in the U.S. * Bring together members to develop policies that make the best use of the limited supply of organs and give all patients a fair chance at receiving the organ they need, regardless of age, sex, ethnicity, religion, lifestyle or financial/social status. * Monitoring every organ match to ensure organ allocation policies are followed. * Provides assistance to patients, family members and friends. * Educates transplant professionals about their important role in the donation and transplant processes. * Educating the public about the importance of organ donation. UNOS was first awarded the national Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) contract in 1986 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. UNOS continues as the only organization ever to operate the OPTN. As part of the OPTN contract, UNOS has: * established an organ sharing system that maximizes the efficient use of deceased organs through equitable and timely allocation * established a system to collect, store, analyze and publish data pertaining to the patient waiting list, organ matching, and transplants * informed, consulted and guided persons and organizations concerned with human organ transplantation in order to increase the number of organs available for transplantation

Lifebanc is the nonprofit organ and tissue recovery organization for Northeast Ohio. As one of the original seven independent organ procurement organizations in the United States, Lifebanc serves nearly four million people and works with 80 hospitals in 20 counties. We are a member of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), which has been managed by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) since 1986. We also work closely with local partners, as well as the other Organ Procurement Organizations in the state of Ohio to educate the public and healthcare professionals about the benefits of and need for organ, tissue and eye donations. These organizations include Lifeline of Ohio; LifeCenter and Life Connection of Ohio. Along with serving the public, professional community and donor hospitals, Lifebanc provides life-saving organs to two transplant centers: The Cleveland Clinic and University Hospital Case Medical Center. Recovered tissue is transplanted countless times in hospitals throughout the region. Last year, Lifebanc helped to heal and save more than 25,000 lives. Additionally, it was instrumental in helping to perform the nation''s first near-total face transplant and establishing the world-record for lungs transplanted in a year.
