Massachusetts H2543 mandates hospitals to maintain services, requiring public hearings and corrective actions if a facility diverts or pauses patient.

Massachusetts H2543 amends Section 51 of Chapter 111 to require hospitals to maintain required services. If a licensed facility diverts or pauses patient services on three or more occasions in a calendar year, the Department must convene a public hearing in the community served by the facility. The Department may then consider corrective actions, including the revocation of the facility's license. This bill aims to increase accountability for hospitals that interrupt or divert required services.
