DHEC's board did not rule on Aiken Regional Medical Centers appeal to overturn a hearing officer order barring angioplasty. The hospital has been prohibited from performing the procedure since a April ruling required a full hearing before any clearance. The board planned to decide Thursday how to handle the appeal as lawmakers propose additional quality assurance standards.
