The recipients of the contracts are six companies, based across the country, according to an Oct. 3 HHS news release. 

The initiative aims not only to ensure the availability of essential medical supplies but contribute to national security, support domestic manufacturing jobs and enhance U.S. response capabilities for public health crises, the release said. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
