1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Electronic Medical Records for Foreign Service Personnel Act of 2024 . 2. Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) Foreign Service personnel at the Department of State often serve with distinction in austere places and under challenging conditions around the world with limited healthcare availability; (2) the Department’s exclusive use of paper medical records, which require Foreign Service personnel to carry their protected health information from post to post, puts our diplomats in danger by limiting the availability of their health information to Department medical personnel during critical health incidents; (3) electronic medical records are necessary, particularly as the Department opens new embassies in the South Pacific, thousands of miles from the nearest Department medical officer, who may not have access to up-to-date personnel medical files; (4) the lack of electronic medical records is even more important for mental health records, as the Department only has a small number of regional medical officer psychiatrists and relies heavily on telehealth for most Foreign Service personnel
