Performance Audit of the Certificate of Need (CON) Program

Receives AOPTA Award for Six-Month Period Ended - September 30, 2002

Scott Strong, Director of Audit Operations, is pleased to announce that the performance audit of the Certificate of Need (CON) Program, Certificate of Need Commission, Department of Community Health (DCH), is the winner of the Audit Operations Project Team Award (AOPTA) for the six months ended September 30, 2002. The audit team consisted of Bryan Weiler, supervisor, and team members Mark Lee and Melanie Zoerhoff. This project is an excellent example of a high profile and high impact performance audit of an issue that is of extremely high interest to the Legislature, to the State’s medical community, to the media, and to the State’s citizens in general. This was a very complex and difficult audit to conduct because of the sensitivity and highly political nature of the CON Program and also because the CON Program had never been audited before or been evaluated and assessed by DCH or the Legislature.
