State Certificate of Need (CON) programs intended to ensure that only needed services and facilities are developed in a given region have had broad and often unforeseen impacts on healthcare providers and markets over the past three decades.

Obtaining a CON in some states has become especially challenging for outpatient providers such as ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), specialty hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, and other non-traditional healthcare providers. CON can be a major hurdle for such providers seeking to expand, modernize or reshape their service capabilities.

What options and strategies are available for those seeking a CON today? Purchase this Audio CD (recorded late April 2007) and learn from one of the nations foremost experts on Certificate of Need issues.
