State regulators have given Mass General Brigham the green light to move ahead with a pair of projects at Boston hospitals, expansions the system says will help address capacity constraints.
The Health Policy Commission has given the state's largest hospital system until May 16 to submit a performance improvement plan aimed at controlling cost growth.
On the Faulkner project, Elizabeth Kelley of the DPH's Bureau of Health Care Safety and Quality said department staff believed the HPC's findings on costs and market share were more accurate than those in an independent cost analysis commissioned as part of the determination of need process. The Mass. General Hospital approval also involved data-reporting conditions, and the required community health contribution for that pricier project lands at more than $93 million.
Kelley said that DPH staff"sees significant concerns" with that request and the potential spending impacts from added inpatient capacity at MGH, and the department recommended disapproval of the additional beds while allowing the broader tower project to proceed.
