Over the past decade, more than a quarter of US hospitals faced the threat of Medicare termination due to EMTALA citations. Each violation carries potential fines of more than $100,000 and far larger civil judgements brought by injured parties.
This webinar features real-world case studies and practical approaches for how healthcare leaders can address the challenges presented by EMTALA and related regulatory and accreditation requirements. Key learning points included:
- Develop strategies to meet the challenges that came to light during the pandemic, including staffing shortages and the increase of patient psychiatric conditions
-
Identify successful approaches for coping with long waits for emergency department care and the challenges associated with boarded inpatients
-
Clarify what it means to stabilize the patient or resolve an emergency medical condition
-
Recognize the important differences between lateral and higher-level-of-care transfers
