    4. SHIP funded investments must be prioritized as follows:

Priority is not given to one over the other. Your hospital may choose one or both.

    Second Priority: If your hospital is already participating fully in HCAHPS and ICD-10, you may select a different investment listed on the SHIP purchasing menu

    Third Priority: If your hospital has already completed ALL investments listed on the SHIP purchasing menu, your hospital may identify an alternative piece of equipment and/or service ONLY IF: a) the purchase will optimally affect your hospital's transformation into an accountable care organization, increase value-based purchasing objectives and/or aid in the adoption of ICD-10; and b) your hospital receives pre-approval from both your state SHIP Coordinator and the appropriate FORHP project coordinator.
