The 2018 State Medical Facilities Plan (SMFP) was approved by
Governor Cooper on December 11, 2017, and has been issued effective
January 1, 2018. It includes need determinations of interest to a
number of different types of providers. Several of the need
determinations were different from the proposed SMFP issued last
summer, but were changed in the final SMFP based on petitions filed
with the State Health Coordinating Council (SHCC) or because of
updated data which justified their addition or removal. Of
particular note is the SHCC's decision to significantly revise
the methodology for determining need for operating rooms. As shown
below, those revisions resulted in a larger number of operating
rooms becoming available for development than in past years.
All of the SMFP need determinations identified are listed below.
Please note that application due dates are absolute deadlines.
Applications must be filed with the Healthcare Planning and
Certificate of Need Section, which is located at 809 Ruggles Drive,
Raleigh, NC 27603. The filing deadline is 5:30 p.m. on the
application due date.
