Expanding Capacity for Health Outcomes Act of 2026

This bill changes an existing federal grant program for technology-enabled collaborative learning and capacity building models in health care. It would allow the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to a network of 3 or more organizations that have experience running these models. At the end of the grant period, the network would have to use a shared dataset to show how these models affect health outcomes for public health issues chosen by the Secretary, such as a spreading infectious disease or a growing chronic disease. The bill also extends the program's funding authorization from 2022–2026 to 2027–2031.
