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.
