§ 9405a. Public participation and strategic planning
Each hospital shall have a protocol for meaningful public participation in its strategic planning process for identifying and addressing health care needs that the hospital provides or could provide in its service area. Needs identified through the process shall be integrated with the hospital's long-term planning and shall be described as a component of its four-year capital expenditure projections provided to the public oversight commission under subdivision 9407(b)(2) of this title. The process shall be updated as necessary to continue to be consistent with such planning and capital expenditure projections, and identified needs shall be summarized in the hospital's community report. (Added 2003, No. 53, § 4; amended 2005, No. 71, § 77a; 2007, No. 27, § 4.)
