Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Rural Emergency Acute Care Hospital
Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) According to the University of North Carolina's Center
for Health Services Research, 55 rural hospitals have closed in
the Unites States since January 2010.
(2) In 2014, iVantage conducted a study for the National
Rural Health Association and found 283 hospitals at risk of
closure based upon performance indicators that matched those
facilities already forced to close in this decade.
(3) Researchers at the University of North Carolina
identified inpatient volume as a substantial contributing
factor to the financial performance of rural hospitals, with
many of the at-risk hospitals having an average daily bed
census of less than 2.
(4) Adverse impacts to the local economy and the loss of
timely access to emergency medical care are 2 major effects of
rural hospital closures.
(5) According to the National Center for Rural Health
Works, the typical rural hospital creates over 140 jobs and
generates $6,800,000 in compensation while serving an average
population of 14,600.
(6) The 2014 iVantage study estimates that the 283 at-risk
hospitals could result in the loss of 36,000 health care jobs,
50,000 community jobs, and $10,600,000,000 in gross domestic
product.
(7) Time is the most critical factor for achieving
successful outcomes in emergency medicine, and emergency
medical clinicians refer to the time-sensitive period during
which successful outcomes may be best achieved as the ''golden
hour''.
(8) The National Conference of State Legislatures states
that 60 percent of trauma deaths in the United States occur in
rural areas, where only 15 percent of the population is
represented.
(9) The disproportionate percentage of trauma deaths in
rural areas is likely attributable in large part to a
combination of response time to the scene and distance to the
nearest emergency room to stabilize trauma victims.
(10) The percentage of trauma deaths occurring in rural
areas could continue to increase as more rural hospitals close,
further limiting access to emergency services and requiring
patients to travel longer distances to receive emergency
medical care.
(11) The creation of a rural emergency hospital designation
under the Medicare program will allow facilities in rural areas
to provide emergency medical services without having to
maintain inpatient beds.
(12) In addition to providing emergency care, rural
emergency hospitals could convert the space previously used for
inpatient services to provide other medical services including,
but not limited to, observation care, skilled nursing facility
care, infusion services, hemodialysis, home health, hospice,
nursing home care, population health, and telemedicine
services.
