Bill > HR330

This bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a comprehensive study on electronic automated referrals for organ donation within one year of enactment. The study will examine how hospitals currently use electronic systems to identify potential organ donors, focusing on several key areas including potential time and staff savings, improvements over manual identification methods, benefits of using electronic medical records, impact on donation volumes, and best practices for implementation. The research will involve reviewing clinical literature, assessing information technology practices for secure data transmission, and developing recommendations to promote nationwide adoption of electronic automated referral systems. An "electronic automated referral" is specifically defined as an electronic system that uses clinical criteria in a patient's electronic health record to automatically refer potential deceased organ donors to a hospital's organ procurement organization. The Secretary will be required to submit a detailed report of the study's findings to relevant congressional committees within one year of the Act's enactment, with the ultimate goal of improving organ donation processes through technological innovation.
