Certified Clinical Transplant Nurse (CCTN) Practice Exam

The legislation that was enacted to enhance the organ, eye, and tissue allocation process following successful transplants is the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Act. This act specifically focuses on facilitating the allocation and distribution of organs, ensuring that the process is fair and equitable. It established the framework for the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), which oversees the national system for organ procurement and transplant allocation.

While other acts, such as the National Organ Transplant Act, also influence organ donation and transplantation, the OPTN Act is designed to develop and implement policies that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of organ allocation following transplants. The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act addresses donation before death and the legality around anatomical gifts, while the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act primarily deals with patient privacy and health information. Therefore, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Act is the most relevant legislation for enhancing organ, eye, and tissue allocation specifically after transplants.
