1Opinion of the Court

RUFFIN, Presiding Judge.

These three companion appeals arise from a superior court order directing the Department of Community Health ("the Department") to issue a certificate of need for an adult open-heart surgery service to Satilla Health Services, Inc. d/b/a Satilla Regional Medical Center ("Satilla"). The Department and two other hospitals filed separate applications for discretionary review of that ruling. We granted the applications and docketed the appeals as Case Nos. A03A2244, A03A2245, and A03A2246. For reasons that follow, we reverse.
