15 Miss. Code. R. 9-91-8.3
Findings on access (see Criterion 6 of this chapter) must be included in the written findings of the State Department of Health for each project approved, except where the project is one which was undertaken to eliminate or prevent eminent safety hazards or to comply with certain licensure or accreditation standards regarding life safety codes or regulations, where the project proposes a capital expenditure not directly related to the provision of health services or to beds or major medical equipment, or where the project is proposed by or on behalf of a health care facility which is controlled directly or indirectly by an HMO.
In making its written findings on access, the Department must take into account the current accessibility of the facility as a whole.
The Department may impose a condition that requires the applicant to take affirmative steps to meet access criteria on those projects that were approved but do not meet access criteria.
The Department must state in its written findings if a project is disapproved for failure to meet the need and access criteria.
In any case where the Department finds that a project does not satisfy the criteria for access to traditionally underserved groups, a report of such findings shall be made in writing to the applicant.
