standards, rules, and | 6 | | regulations promulgated by virtue thereof provided
that he | 7 | | finds that such hospital has undertaken changes and corrections
| 8 | | which upon completion will render the hospital in substantial | 9 | | compliance

regulations adopted hereunder, and provided that the | 11 | | health and safety
of the patients of the hospital will be | 12 | | protected during the period for
which such provisional license | 13 | | is issued. The Director shall advise the
licensee of the | 14 | | conditions under which such provisional license is
issued, | 15 | | including the manner in which the hospital facilities fail to
| 16 | | comply with the provisions of the Act, standards, rules, and
