A. MIEMSS may give preference to an applicant hospital with a designated trauma center which supports or is supported by the presence of a specialty referral center.
B. If there are two or more applicants for the same type of specialty referral center in the same geographic coverage area where patient volumes or population would likely be insufficient to support both applicants, based on the criteria in Regulations .04-.09 of this chapter, MIEMSS shall:
(1) Give preference to the applicant with an established specialty referral program that can demonstrate that its past experience and performance:
(a) Are indicative of quality patient care,
(b) Are consistent with professional standards, and
(c) Result in optimal patient outcome; and
(2) Consider demonstrated patient outcomes and the recommendations of the site survey team to determine the most qualified applicant if both applicants have been verified through MIEMSS' inspection as meeting the standards for the requested specialty referral center.
