PROCEDURES FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF SECTIONS 408.031-408.045, FLORIDA STATUTES, HEALTH FACILITY AND SERVICES DEVELOPMENT ACT

Overview

RULE:

59C-1.002	Definitions
59C-1.032	Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization and Angioplasty Institutional Health Services (Repealed)
59C-1.033	Pediatric Open Heart Surgery Program (Repealed)

PURPOSE:

The Agency is proposing to amend rules to remove a tertiary service no longer under Certificate of Need (CON) purview, remove language regarding adult services, update definitions and add the collection of utilization reports.

SUBJECT:

The proposed amendment to Rule 59C-1.002, F.A.C., removes adult open heart surgery from the list of tertiary services.  The proposed amendments to Rules 59C-1.032 and 59C-1.033, F.A.C., remove all references to adult open heart surgery programs and adult cardiac catheterization programs, as these programs no longer require a CON to be established, and removes Travel Standard language, need determination and other components of the adult program's CON criteria.
