Abstract

Using Arcgis Server for organ allocation optimization in France
Track: Public Health
Authors: Florian Bayer

In France, organ allocation is handled by the Agence de la biomédecine, a public health organisation. In a context of scarcity, geographical optimization of organ allocation is a sensitive issue.
A web application using Arcgis Server has been developed to support and improve the decision making process for patients not taken into account by allocation score. Considering the recipients’ health condition, the distance to the organ donor and the transportation, what is the best allocation option?
