Note | The purpose of this project is to document the current status of CON for psychiatric and substance abuse services in the United States. |
Abstract | Certificate of Need (CON) laws provide state level review of the need for additional health care resources in a given community. General CON regulations on medical services have been relatively well-documented. Little attention has been paid to state CON regulations for psychiatric and substance abuse care and their impacts on the efficiency supply of services. No effort has been made to document the current status of CON laws on psychiatric and substance abuse care and state characteristics influencing nationwide variation. Surveyed the current status of CON using state CON websites and Lexis/Nexus (a legal databases of state statutes and regulations). The research demonstrates the need for further exploration of the impact of CON on the availability of mental health and substance abuse services and subsequently relevant population health outcomes |
