CMS Regulations
In January 2007, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) introduced a measurement on organs placed for research. In addition to recovering viable organs for transplantation, organ procurement organizations are now being assessed by CMS for placing organs for research. IIAM continues to identify new researchers to help ensure that each referral translates into an opportunity to advance medical research.

The use of donor organs and tissues is critical to medical research today. Breakthroughs in treatment for devastating illnesses like Diabetes, Coronary Artery Disease and Cancer are dependent on these donations. New surgical techniques are developed every day because of a surgeon's access to these vital gifts. MTF/IIAM are committed to assuring that donated gifts are treated with respect and dignity, and used for the purpose for which they are intended.

If you have questions about donation for research, please:
Email Gina Dunne Smith, IIAM General Manager or call 610-486-0583
