Key Points
This bill tells the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments to pick 1 shared system to verify doctors’ licenses, training, and allowed duties.
The goal is to stop delays when a doctor or nurse moves between military hospitals and veterans hospitals, so care can be scheduled faster.
Within 120 days, they must report to Congress what systems they use now, what info they store, and where the systems don’t work well together.
By Jan. 1, 2027, they must choose which existing system becomes the single shared one and make sure it can import and share records.
By Jan. 1, 2028, they must certify to Congress that the shared system is fully up and running.
