Plain-English Summary
The federal government would provide money to nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other long-term care providers to help them buy and set up computer systems for managing patient health information. This funding would help these facilities modernize their technology so they can better track patient records and share information with doctors and hospitals. The grants would make it easier for elderly and disabled patients to receive coordinated care across different healthcare settings.
