The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) triggers more threats to hospitals' Medicare certification than any other CMS requirement. Our experts have decades of experience helping hospitals across the country resolve CMS terminations and build sustained systems to avoid future threats. This 1-hour webinar is packed with common sense advice to minimize your EMTALA risks. The presenters will focus on:
- Medical Staff bylaws, rules, regulations and policies that are impacted by EMTALA, including the definition of a “Qualified Medical Person,” and “on call” requirements
- The link between ED flow and EMTALA, including suggestions about how to minimize risk through common sense, and
- Minor wording changes that can reduce your risk during “lateral” transfers
We will use actual case studies to connect EMTALA theory with real life.
