This bill aims to increase patient access to certain health care services. It proposes to amend the definition of "health care facility" in Section 25B of Chapter 111 of the General Laws. The key changes include: 1) expanding the definition to include certain facilities like clinical laboratories and public medical institutions; 2) clarifying that "new technology" does not include commonly used diagnostic or therapeutic equipment; and 3) defining "substantial change in services" for acute-care hospitals and other health care facilities, including the addition or expansion of certain services.
