15 Miss. Code. R. 12-32-1.2.2 - Trauma Center Consultative Visit

:

1. An applicant hospital may request a Consultative Visit of its facilities. This visit is used to assist the applicant hospital in preparation for a Trauma Center inspection. Results of Trauma Center Consultative Visits will be provided by the Department in writing to the applicant hospital. These results will be held in confidence by the Department. The Department will work with, and provide assistance to, the applicant hospital to correct any deficiencies noted during the Consultative Review.

2. If an applicant hospital requests a Trauma Center inspection without having first received a Consultative Visit and the hospital fails to meet designation criteria, the inspection shall be deemed a Consultative Visit. Any subsequent inspection for designation as a Trauma Center will be at the hospital's expense.

3. A Consultative Visit, regardless of outcome, confers no designation status upon the applicant hospital. A hospital, having completed a Consultative Visit, may apply for a Trauma Center inspection at any time after receiving the report from the Consultative Review.
