The legislature hereby finds that the provision of health care in shared health care facilities has become an important source of health services in this state and that such facilities are important mechanisms for the delivery of health care services which have largely been created by the funding provisions of the state program of medical assistance for needy persons. The legislature also finds and declares that certain practices exist in the medical assistance program which have resulted in abuses requiring the regulation of shared health facilities. The legislature further declares it to be the public policy of the state to regulate shared health facilities and to set necessary standards for review of practices and care rendered in those facilities.
