(IRR sample B)
solution
transplant system changed to be more efficient and closer at matching ages
new rules and regulations implemented, covering potential issues made by shifting medical care
reexamination of the renal transplant system, transplant trends, finances, and ethics
claim 1
RTR views to patient-related problems
waiting time
", the average wait time for renal transplants in 2014 was approximately 679 days "
elderly patients
"this creates social friction as younger donated organs have their potential years of life unused on a person who may not live through the next decade"
necessity to make transplants with matching ages
obesity
"certain obese patients can actually benefit more from dialysis"
claim 2
changes brought to professional and ethical obligations
potential malpractice
lawsuits
"malpractice suits greatly damage physicians’ personal lives"
"these lawsuits can greatly damage a physician’s mental well-being"
necessity for new system
more efficient at matching organs, preventing transplant-related malpractice suits.
"Barring malpractice issues, however, there are still both medical and ethical issues associated with long wait times for RTRs"
patient suffering
"dialysis restricted their lifestyle and made
some feel as if their suffering was just prolonged "
claim 3
Hospital administration being against reorganization
opioid crisis
", opioid abuse led to almost 30,000 deaths in 2017 in the US alone"
"opioid treatment can greatly help improve the lives of those who are helped "
taking care of RTR patients is a challenge
"primary care for the RTR can be quite difficult due to a host of medical complications following the transplant"
increasing amounts of RTR patients, "which many hospitals are simply not equipped to handle"
hospital performance evaluations
"transplant centers sometimes reject viable kidneys that have some issues but still function well, citing past studies on the matter"
