An automated system will be established to track medical supplies, showing how much equipment and medication is available in national stockpiles, hospitals, and from manufacturers.
The system will provide quick access to supply data during emergencies, streamlining distribution and preventing shortages.
The act includes support for smaller medical facilities to help them join the system and better manage their supplies.
Data shared by hospitals and companies will be protected to ensure confidentiality and prevent commercial misuse.
