Certificate of Need Laws

Many states use certificate of need laws to determine if health care facilities are needed in specific locations. State certificate of need laws determine the process to identify whether a community needs a health care facility, and they outline the process to apply for a permit to build that facility. This map captures the types of facilities requiring certificate of need, the range of variables applicable to a certificate of need determination, and the timelines applicable to procedural requirements.

This map displays key features of state certificate of need laws across all 50 states, in effect as of August 21, 2020.

诸多州均采用医疗设施需求认证法（Certificate of Need, CON），用于判定特定地区是否需要配置医疗保健机构。州级医疗设施需求认证法既明确了社区医疗保健机构需求的审核流程，也规定了申请建设该类机构的许可办理规程。本数据集地图涵盖了需遵循该认证法的机构类型、用于认证判定的各类变量，以及流程要求对应的时限规则。

本地图展示了截至2020年8月21日全美50个州的州级医疗设施需求认证法核心特征。
