Upcoming TIEDI® OMB Changes
Q&A Session
Implementation date: March 31, 2015
Background

Every 3 years, the OPTN must resubmit the donor
and transplant data collection forms to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval. As such, recommended changes from
various OPTN committees have been considered
and approved by the Board of Directors. In the
current plan, TIEDI® forms will be modified following
OMB approval.
Background

The 2015 TIEDI form changes are scheduled to be
implemented on Tuesday, March 31, 2015.

All new forms generated after Tuesday, March 31,
2015, and existing forms that are at an expected
status on March 31, 2015, will require all data to be
entered, including the new data fields that are
added with this change, in order to validate the
forms.
Background

Any existing forms that are already validated will
remain validated.

If an existing form that is already validated is
subsequently updated, the form will save all valid
data, but the system will inform the user if any
required new data fields are missing.
Please Note

There is no change to the existing form entry
process with this implementation.
Please Note

We encourage those who enter data in TIEDI, to
validate as many forms as they can with the
existing format.

The 2015 changes are eliminating a majority of the
optional fields that are on the forms.
Review
Will form submission process policies
change at all?
• No, there will only be changes to the fields
and labels. All of the current data submission
policies will still be in effect.
Review
Will we get an extension or grace period
on the due date to submit TIEDI forms?
• No, we encourage you to validate your
institution’s expected forms prior to 3/31/2015.
Reminder, all validated forms will remain
validated, even though new fields will appear
and old fields will be removed on 3/31/2015.
Review
How will this impact existing forms in the
system?
• All existing and new TIEDI® forms will look and behave
according to the new 2015 changes. So, forms
generated prior to 3/31/2015 will adhere to the new
look and feel and abide by the new validation rules. All
forms that are expected on or after 3/31/2015 will
need to be completed with the new format.

the Tiedi® forms be made available?
