AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, within one year, to allow the health records of a deceased person who was enrolled in VA health care or covered by TRICARE to be updated with observed health conditions and other relevant health information. The update could be made by a person the enrollee designated, or, if no one was designated, by an immediate family member. The two departments would jointly create a process for making such a designation. Updates would add to the existing records and could not change information already in them.
