The Institute's Director must set up data systems and information clearinghouses for diabetes, digestive diseases, and kidney and urologic diseases. Each data system collects and analyzes patient and general population data to detect disease risk. Each clearinghouse shares knowledge about the disease with health professionals, patients, and the public.

(a) National Diabetes Data System and National Diabetes Clearinghouse. The Director must (1) create the National Diabetes Data System to collect, store, analyze, retrieve, and share data from diabetes patients — and, where possible, from the general population, to help detect people at risk of developing diabetes — and (2) create the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse to build and spread knowledge and understanding of diabetes among health professionals, patients, and the public. (b) National Digestive Diseases Data System and National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse. The Director must do the same two things for digestive diseases: (1) create a data system covering digestive disease patients and, where possible, the general population, to help detect at-risk people, and (2) create an information clearinghouse to build and spread knowledge about digestive diseases. (c) National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Data System and National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse. The Director must do the same for kidney and urologic diseases: (1) create a data system covering patients with these diseases and, where possible, the general population, to help detect at-risk people, and (2) create an information clearinghouse to build and spread knowledge about kidney and urologic diseases.
