The CARE Act requires the Department of Health and Human Services to establish a department-wide program that reviews and improves the agency's response to public health emergencies within one year of the law's passage. The program will analyze what went wrong or could be improved after each emergency response, coordinate findings across HHS agencies, and work with external partners like state and local governments and hospitals to implement solutions. The legislation also mandates that HHS develop a comprehensive strategy to ensure disease and health risk communications are clear, accurate, culturally appropriate, and available in multiple languages to reach diverse populations. The HHS Inspector General will evaluate the after-action program annually and report to Congress on its effectiveness. While the bill does not specify new funding amounts, it directs existing resources within HHS to support these coordination and communication initiatives.
