Certificate of Need
Definition
- Certificate of need (CON) is a state-level regulatory process first established more than 40 years ago for the purpose of rationalizing the growth and distribution of hospitals, other health facilities such as nursing homes and ambulatory surgery centers, and expensive healthcare equipment and services. In this process, a hospital or other healthcare provider must establish through an analysis that a need exists in a specific service area for the new or expanded facility or proposed service.
