It also requires the establishment of goals and performance measures for obtaining initial and final medical records. Additionally, the bill mandates the monitoring of core trainings for these providers. The Office must also ensure clear communication regarding whether such trainings are recommended or required. Finally, the Under Secretary must submit regular progress reports to Congressional committees.
