Certificate Of Need
A certificate of need (CON), in the United States, is a legal document required in many states and some federal jurisdictions before proposed creations, acquisitions, or expansions of healthcare facilities are allowed. CONs are issued by a federal or state regulatory agency with authority over an area to affirm that the plan is required to fulfill the needs of a community. CONs have been criticized for granting monopoly privileges to existing hospitals and healthcare facilities, thereby driving down the number of hospitals and hospital beds in a community. One study found that CON laws resulted in 50% fewer hospitals per 100,000 persons, and 12% fewer beds at the typical hospital. CONs have been blamed for the shortage of hospital beds during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. History The concept of the CON first arose in the field of health care and was passed first in New York in 1964 and then into federal law during the Richard Nixon administration in 1974, with th ...
