The Florida Legislature’s passage this year of a new law is expected to accelerate construction of new hospitals in Central Florida and could bring new players into what’s now an open market, according to an article on the Orlando Sentinel website.
The law eliminates the requirement for hospitals to apply to the state Agency for Healthcare Administration for Certificates of Need (CON) to build new acute care facilities or add specialized services.
The region’s two largest healthcare organizations, Orlando Health and AdventHealth, said that while the change doesn’t alter their long term expansion plans, it will accelerate them.
The CON process could add months, or even years, to the development of new acute care facilities.
