H.R. 3747 · House bill · 119th Congress
This bill reauthorizes through FY2031 and revises the Technology-enabled Collaborative Learning Program, which is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration. This program provides grants to support the use of technology that connects different health care professionals to improve access to health care, including specialty care, for certain rural and medically underserved populations.
The bill explicitly adds dementia care to the types of specialty care that the program may address.
This Act may be cited as the “Accelerating Access to Dementia and Alzheimer’s Provider Training Act” or the “AADAPT Act”.
