Small Hospitals Get Christmas Gift (Posted Thursday, December 26, 2002 6:35 AM) (AP) The smallest hospitals in Montana got an early Christmas gift. The federal government has announced it will add more flexibility to staffing requirements for so-called Critical Access Hospitals, which serve remote areas. Under the proposed change, registered nurses will once again be allowed to serve as relief medical providers at hospitals with fewer than ten beds. The state must first approve the arrangement, and one who hopes it will is Dan Muniak, a physician assistant and sole medical provider at the Garfield County Medical Center in Jordan. He says the rule change was announced last Thursday, but probably won't take effect until March. There are more than 400 Critical Access Hospitals nationwide. Only six of them are staffed by just one medical provider, and four of those are in Montana. (Copyright 2002 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
