Bill > HR3636

This bill amends Title 10 of the United States Code to improve the licensing verification process for healthcare professionals in military departments. Specifically, the bill requires the Secretary of Defense to establish a centralized credential system that allows commanding officers of military healthcare facilities to quickly verify the professional licensure of healthcare workers across all military branches. The system must ensure that at least 90 percent of licensure verifications are completed within seven days of the request, with an exception for healthcare professionals who have an adverse professional record. This centralized approach aims to streamline the credentialing process, making it easier and faster for military healthcare facilities to confirm that their healthcare professionals are appropriately licensed, regardless of the facility's location or the specific military branch in which the professional serves. By implementing this standardized verification system, the bill seeks to maintain high standards of professional qualification and patient safety within military healthcare settings.
