What this bill does
**H.R. 10135 — Improving Diagnosis in Medicine Act of 2024**
This bill would direct federal health agencies to expand efforts aimed at reducing diagnostic errors and improving diagnostic quality in health care. It would create a new research program within the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to study diagnostic errors, fund research centers and provider networks, and support a nonprofit stakeholder coalition, with appropriations rising from $30 million in fiscal year 2025 to $45 million by fiscal year 2029. It also expands existing federal fellowship, training, and quality-measure programs to explicitly cover diagnostic safety, calls for an expert panel to recommend improved health data standards for diagnosis research, establishes an Interagency Council on Improving Diagnosis in Health Care to coordinate federal efforts and produce a strategic plan and periodic reports to Congress, and directs AHRQ to contract with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine for a study on disparities in diagnostic safety and quality.
The bill primarily affects federal health agencies (including AHRQ, CDC, CMS, NIH institutes, FDA, VA, and others), researchers and institutions receiving federal grants, and health care providers and patients who could benefit from research-driven improvements in diagnostic accuracy and reduced disparities.
The bill was introduced on November 15, 2024, in the 118th Congress and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. It did not receive a vote before the end of that Congress, meaning it would need to be reintroduced in a future Congress to be considered further.
