The final revisions to the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) are published and the revised regulations have taken effect. Are you sure that your facility is in compliance?

This book helps you to quickly digest the complex revisions and review the changes to patient care. It explains how the changes to EMTALA will affect emergency departments and off-campus clinics. In-depth articles, at-a-glance tables, and Q & A discussions of real-life situations are presented, and key differences between the "old" EMTALA and the new changes are succinctly explained.

Here are some examples of the vital questions you must be able to answer to avoid violations and hefty fines:

  • How does EMTALA apply to inpatients admitted through the ED?
  • Do the revisions mean hospitals are less likely to be sued under EMTALA?
  • How does EMTALA apply during a disaster?
  • What are the new requirements for maintaining on-call lists?
  • What are the rules concerning off-campus clinics?

EMTALA: The Essential Guide to Compliance draws on the knowledge and experience of nurses, ED managers, physicians, medicolegal experts, and risk managers to cover the EMTALA topics and questions that are most important to you, your staff, and your facility.

The publication is edited by James R. Hubler, MD, JD, FACEP, FAAEM, FCLM, attending physician and clinical assistant professor of surgery, department of emergency medicine, OSF Saint Francis Hospital and University of Illinois College of Medicine, Peoria, and reviewed by Kay Ball, RN, MSA, CNOR, FAAN, perioperative consultant/educator, K&D Medical, Lewis Center, OH.
