NDAA
National Defense Authorization Act. Annual legislation that sets defense policy and spending priorities.
Why It Matters
Health IT provisions are typically in Title VII of the NDAA. The House (HASC) and Senate (SASC) each produce their own version, then reconcile in conference. NDAA language can mandate EHR milestones, require GAO audits, or redirect funding. If you want to know what Congress is prioritizing in defense health, read the NDAA markups.
