Introduction
The Biden-Harris Administration has introduced a transformative model designed to address one of the most pressing challenges in U.S. healthcare: improving access to kidney transplants. The Increasing Organ Transplant Access (IOTA) Model, finalized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), marks a significant shift toward value-based care in organ transplantation. This six-year initiative aims to reduce kidney transplant waiting times, enhance care quality, and address inequities that have long plagued the organ transplantation system.
Beyond the immediate healthcare implications, the IOTA Model introduces a fertile ground for innovation, creating new business opportunities for entrepreneurs looking to address operational inefficiencies, enhance patient outcomes, and integrate advanced technologies into the organ transplantation ecosystem. This article delves into the model’s specifics while exploring entrepreneurial pathways in this evolving landscape.
