01 — The Text

What.

  • The bill reauthorizes the Technology-enabled Collaborative Learning Program, administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration, through FY2031.
  • The program provides grants to support technology that connects different health care professionals to improve access to specialty care for rural and medically underserved populations.
  • The bill explicitly adds dementia care to the types of specialty care the program may address.
  • The program was previously reauthorized for a different period, and this bill extends that authorization.
02 — The Stakes

So what?
