HELENA — Governor Greg Gianforte announced last week the Department of Public Health and Human Services has issued an emergency rule to ease strain on hospital capacity across the state.
The temporary emergency rule waives regulations to make it easier for hospitals to transfer certain patients to other health care facilities, freeing up needed hospital beds.
