HB 1936 requires Tennessee's Department of Health to study and report on creating a state registry for implanted medical devices by January 1, 2027. The report must assess the feasibility and costs of establishing a registry accessible to all healthcare facilities in Tennessee. This bill directly affects the Department of Health (which must conduct the study) and healthcare facilities (which would gain access to the registry if created). It does not establish the registry itself but mandates a study to evaluate its potential implementation. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on the report requirement with no immediate policy changes.
