However the report also notes that "as of this writing" there are only 129 patients enrolled. That's just about one patient per program. And since 2010 a total of 19 transplants have been performed to date.
I'm hoping that the program will take a look at this participation problem.
Here's a bit of good operational news from a recent announcement:
"Match run
frequency increased to twice a month
The goal of the OPTN Kidney Paired Donation Pilot Program (KPDPP)
is to increase the number of transplants for candidates who have a willing but
incompatible living donor. One way to do this is to increase the number of match
runs to more than one a month, which was recently requested by the KPDPP work
group and many of the 118 participating transplant centers."
