(Standard) §486.318(b)(3) The OPO data reports, averaged over the 4 years of the
recertification cycle, must meet the rules and requirements of the most current OPTN
aggregate donor yield measure.
Interpretive Guidelines §486.318(b)(3)
Prior to going on-site for a survey, refer to the CMS OPO Database report. The
Database report will record the OPO level of compliance for each full calendar year of
the re-certification cycle as well as the aggregate compliance level for the three full
years. Utilize the most recent calculated compliance results (36-month aggregate) to
evaluate compliance with the Standard. During the re-certification survey, inform the
OPO of the report findings (compliance/non-compliance) and include any non-compliance in the exit interview.
