One example of the program's positive strides is a prestigious designation from the University Healthsystem Consortium for the outcomes of patients who've received a liver transplant at the U. The consortium an alliance of more than 100 academic medical centers and nearly 250
of their affiliate hospitals (which represent more than 90 percent of the nation's nonprofit academic medical centers) determined that in the past three years the University of Utah's operative death rate for its liver transplant program is zero.
The designation means that not only are more patients choosing to undergo liver transplants at University Hospital
but those who are undergoing transplants are surviving at a high rate and going on to live healthy lives after their procedures.
The approach of team care only available at an academic medical center sets the U. apart from other liver transplant programs in the region.
