In order to receive the additional positions, hospitals must demonstrate a likelihood of filling the positions within three years.</p> <p>The bill removes the requirement that the CMS prioritize hospitals in the same region of the country as the closed hospital. It also requires hospitals to demonstrate a likelihood of (1) starting to use the positions within two years, and (2) filling the positions within five years.</p>
