What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Organ Donation Referral Improvement Act," directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to perform a specific study. The study focuses on how hospitals use electronic automated referrals to identify potential organ donors. Through the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, the Secretary will examine the efficiency and impact of these electronic systems. The goal is to look at things like staff time savings, timeliness, and the use of electronic medical records. Finally, the Secretary must submit a report on these findings to specific committees in both the House and the Senate.
