The clinical and administrative complexities of transplantation can be overwhelming to a hospital considering the start-up of a transplant program. As such, our first step in providing a Transplant Feasibility Study is education. We empower a hospital with the necessary knowledge to make an informed and calculated decision. Along with the education, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation and analysis of the following to create a robust financial pro-forma of projected volumes and required resources:
- Demographics and Incidence of End State Organ Disease of the Potential Patient Base
- Current Transplant Competition in the Market and Organ Availability
- Contractual Relationships necessary to Initiate and Sustain a Transplant Program
- Certificate of Need Assistance
- Facilities and Staffing Infrastructure Requirements
- Regulatory Requirements
- Transplant Critical Success Factors
