What this amendment would do

SA 3546, submitted by Ms. Hirono, aims to add a new section to bill S. 2296. This addition creates a pilot program to test and evaluate standalone technologies.

The purpose of this program is to see if these technologies can achieve the following:

  • Improving efficiencies in military medical readiness and medical supply-chain management.
  • Streamlining medical processes.
  • Improving the accuracy of recordation.
  • Reducing the rates of needlestick injury.
  • Enhancing the retention rates of Department of Defense health care providers.

The Secretary of Defense, acting through the Director of the Defense Health Agency, is required to start this program within 90 days of the Act's enactment. The program is set to run for a five-year period.
