Overview: This new single set of administrative rules replaces six individual rules sets for the licensing health
facilities and agencies. This new rule set has been updated to comport with current practice standards, to
harmonize them with current federal law and regulations, and to reflect the current organization of state
licensing functions. The purpose of promulgating a single new rule set for health facility or agency licensing is
to better protect the health safety and welfare of individuals receiving care and services in or from a health
facility or agency and to assure the medical accountability for reimbursed care provided by a certified health
facility or agency participating in a federal or state health program.
