AI Summary
This bill would create a National Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury Clearinghouse to share trusted, up-to-date information. It would pull together best practices, medical knowledge, research, and info on proper certifications. The goal is to help doctors give better care and help patients and families find the right providers and clear guidance.
A federal official would be chosen to set it up; if no one is chosen within 60 days after the law takes effect, the CDC Director would automatically take the lead. The clearinghouse must be up and running within 120 days after the law is enacted, and it can share information through nonprofits, consumer groups, government agencies, and the media to reach people where they are.
Key points
- Who is affected: People with concussions or traumatic brain injuries, their families, and medical professionals who treat them.
- What changes: A one-stop, vetted source for care guidelines, research, and help finding qualified providers; information can be shared through trusted groups and media to boost access.
- When: Lead official designated within 60 days (or the CDC Director steps in), and the clearinghouse must be established within 120 days of enactment.
