                491(a) by an Institutional Review Board unless the 
                application has undergone review in accordance with

                majority of the members of the Board conducting such

        submitted to the Secretary for financial assistance to conduct 
        research, the Secretary may not approve or fund any application 
        that is subject to technical and scientific peer review under 
        section 492(a) unless the application has undergone peer review 
        in accordance with such section and has been recommended for

                of the report submitted under paragraph (4)(B)(ii),

                    (B) if federally subsidized home or institutional 
                care is reduced because of increased independence of 
                elderly individuals resulting from improved nutritional 
                status;
                    (C) if a multidisciplinary approach to nutritional 
                care is effective in addressing the nutritional needs 
                of elderly individuals; and
                    (D) if reimbursement for nutrition screening and 
                intervention activities is a cost-effective approach to 
                improving the health status of elderly individuals.

SEC. 1910. REDUCING ADMINISTRATIVE HEALTH CARE COSTS.

    The Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the 
Agency for Health Care Policy and Research and, to the extent possible, 
in consultation with the Health Care Financing Administration, may fund 
research to develop a text-based standardized billing process, through 
the utilization of text-based information retrieval and natural 
language processing techniques applied to automatic coding and analysis 
of textual patient discharge summaries and other text-based electronic 
medical records, within a parallel general purpose (shared memory) high 
performance computing environment. The Secretary shall determine 
whether such a standardized approach to medical billing, through the

electronic patient records can reduce the administrative billing costs 
of health care delivery.

SEC. 1911. STUDY CONCERNING RADIOISOTOPES.

    (a) Study.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services, in 
collaboration with the Secretary of Energy, shall, subject to the 
availability of funds, conduct a study concerning the use and 
availability of radioisotopes in the United States for medical (both 
diagnostic and therapeutic) uses in relationship to other uses.
    (b) Subject of Study.--In carrying out the study under subsection

SEC. 1912. MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES PRODUCTIVITY STUDY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1)(A) the Congressional Budget Office, the General 
        Accounting Office, and the Office of Technology Assessment have 
        cited health care technology as a primary source of medical 
        inflation; and
            (B) data from the Office of Technology Assessment suggest 
        that no more than one quarter of the 12 to 13 percent annual 
        increase in health care expenditures, or an estimated 3 percent 
        increase in such expenditures, is attributable to health care 
        technology;
            (2)(A) the 3 percent increase represents the maximum 
        increase in such expenditures, because the Office of Technology 
        Assessment arrives at the estimate by exclusion; and
            (B) the increase attributable to health care technology may 
        nevertheless amount to a direct increase of as much as 
        $27,000,000,000 in health care costs in 1993 and an even 
        greater indirect increase in such health care costs;
            (3) one reason for the high increase in health care costs 
        attributable to health care technology is that few incentives 
        exist in the national research institutes of the National 
        Institutes of Health to encourage the development of technology 
        that improves the productivity of health care delivery; and
            (4) since the National Institutes of Health is a major 
        engine determining the direction of medical technology as well 
        as basic biomedical research, it is appropriate, in the process 
        of directing the medical research and development resources of 
        the National Institutes of Health, to provide incentives that 
        encourage the development of technology to improve the 
        productivity of health care delivery.
    (b) Study.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall 
conduct a study concerning--
            (1) methods by which to encourage the development of 
        medical technologies that improve the productivity, and thereby 
        reduce the cost, of health care delivery through changes in the 
        scientific peer review process; and
            (2) methods by which to reduce the costs of the production 
        of new medical technologies and increase the availability of 
        such technologies through changes in the scientific peer review 
        process.
    (c) Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of 
this Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall prepare and 
submit to the Committee on Labor and Human Resources of the Senate and 
the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives, a 
report concerning the study conducted under subsection (b). Such report 
shall contain the findings of the Secretary with respect to the study 
and the recommendations of the Secretary for the implementation of 
measures to encourage enhanced productivity of medical technologies and 
increase the availability of such technologies through changes in the 
scientific peer review process. Such report shall also contain the 
steps that the Secretary proposes to implement the recommendations.

SEC. 1913. SENTINEL DISEASE CONCEPT STUDY.

    (a) In General.--The Director of the National Institutes of Health, 
in cooperation with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease 
Registry and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, may design 
and implement a pilot sentinel disease surveillance and follow-up 
system.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of the study conducted under subsection 
(a) shall be to determine the applicability of and the difficulties

        valuable biomedical research on diseases and conditions that 
        harm or kill individuals and that threaten public health;
            (2) it is in the public interest to allocate scarce Federal 
        taxpayer money for research that is based on scientific merit 
        and cost-effectiveness; and
            (3) it is in the public interest for Members of Congress to 
        have a criteria or methodologies to inform and assist them in 
        the decision making process when allocating Federal taxpayer 
        money for specific biomedical research.
    (b) Study.--
            (1) Contract.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services

        paragraph (1) to conduct the study described in such paragraph. 
        If such Institute declines to conduct the study, the Secretary 
        shall carry out paragraph (1) through another public or 
        nonprofit private entity.
            (3) Items.--Items that may be considered in the development 
        of the criteria of methodologies may include, but are not 
        limited to, the following--
                    (A) the populations affected by, or potentially 
                affected by diseases and conditions that are targets 
                for research;
                    (B) the incidence and prevalence rates of disease

        the Oregon Department of Human Services on November 13, 1992, 
        (hereafter referred to in this section as the ``application'') 
        by March 19, 1993, and
            (2) because the application for waivers has been pending 
        for one and a half years and the Oregon State legislature faces 
        a biennium budget currently under consideration, a decision 
        must be reached by March 19, 1993, in order for the legislature 
        to appropriate the funds necessary to implement the Oregon 
        plan.
