Description
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) requires hospitals to screen every person who requests emergency care. Interpretation of the statute by hospitals, CMS and the courts has evolved significantly. This presentation examines compliance elements including medical screening, transfers with or without stabilization, on-call specialist issues, record keeping requirements and liability.
LEARNER OUTCOMES:
- Distinguish an emergency medical condition requiring a medical screening exam from a non-emergency
- Identify the basic requirements for maintaining a specialist on-call panel
- Identify the requirements for transfer with and without stabilization
