Guest guest Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 I know what it says, but for years everybody has been So afraid of EMTALA because although it's clear, it's ambiguous at the same time. I definitely agree with better screenings, don't get me wrong on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If in the evaluation, you determine the patient is clinically stable, then the intent is met. At least that is what two hospital risk managment types have told me.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 They're evaluated. If they're stable, no treatment is required. Mike > > How isn't this an EMTALA violation? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Read the EMTALA statutes carefully. It specifically addresses seeking treatment and stabilization of an *emergency* condition. -Alfonso R.
