AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to complete a study within 3 years on how often hospital emergency departments test overdose patients for fentanyl and related substances. The study would look at when tests are not given, costs, benefits and risks to patients, staff training needs, patient privacy, and barriers to testing. Within 9 months after the study is done, the department must issue guidance on whether emergency departments should test overdose patients for fentanyl as a routine procedure. The guidance would also cover making sure staff know what their standard drug tests detect and listing federal resources to help with testing.
