Sponsored by Reps. Greg Walden, R-Ore., and Frank Pallone, D-N.J., the bill would require the HHS secretary to choose the partners and a third party to manage the partnership. The third-party organization would provide partners with technical and operational support, promote data-sharing, provide analyses to identify trends and vulnerabilities, and convene at least once a year to update partners on progress.
The bill also directs HHS to submit a report to Congress within two years on the possibility of creating a tool to provide real-time data on ongoing and emergent trends in healthcare fraud, waste and abuse.
