If the department issues a certificate of need (CON), it will be conditioned to require ongoing compliance with the CON standards. Failure to meet the standards may be grounds for revocation or suspension of a hospital's CON, or other appropriate licensing or certification actions.

(1) Hospitals granted a certificate of need must meet:

(a) The program procedure volume standards within three years from the date of initiating the program; and

(b) QA standards in WAC 246-310-740.

(2) The department may reevaluate these standards every three years.
