The job it is built for

Build an application that holds up in staff review: the existing inventory, the comparable projects and the cost benchmarks.

Inventory and utilization tables sit inside old staff reports, and pulling comparable projects is a records search every time.

What the file gives you

  • Existing equipment and beds by planning district from 85+ DCOPN staff reports, with the data year and the source report on each facility row.
  • Every request since 2016, to filter by service line, district and capital cost. The median request took about five months from application to decision.
  • The need calculations DCOPN printed in recent staff reports, by planning district and service, next to the State Medical Facilities Plan threshold each one tests.
  • Why staff recommended denial, section by section, so a new application can answer those findings before staff raise them.
