The job it is built for
Advise a hospital, practice or developer client whether to file, oppose a competing request or contest a decision, and back the advice with Virginia precedent.
Decisions are posted by certificate number and staff reports separately, so a precedent set means opening PDFs one at a time.
What the file gives you
- Every decision since 2016 beside the DCOPN staff recommendation. When staff recommended denial, the Commissioner approved about 7 in 10 of those requests anyway.
- The State Medical Facilities Plan sections staff found not met, with their reasons, from recent staff reports, and the Commissioner's reason wherever the decision departs from staff.
- The five closest decided precedents for each pending request and letter of intent, same service line and planning district first.
- A calendar of filing deadlines, review cycles and expected decision dates, as a tab and as a calendar file.
