Keep up with EMTALA via audio conference
EMTALA rules continue to change. Are you up-to-date?
Keep abreast of all the latest changes with "EMTALA Update 2002," an audio conference sponsored by American Health Consultants. The conference, scheduled for Tuesday, June 4, 2002, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. EDT, will be presented by Charlotte S. Yeh, MD, FACEP, and Nancy J. Brent, RN, MS, JD. Yeh is medical director for Medicare policy at National Heritage Insurance Co. Brent is a Chicago-based attorney, with extensive experience as a speaker on the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) and related health care issues.
The conference will outline a new report that puts a national spotlight on inadequate emergency department (ED) on-call coverage. There is a growing trend of specialists refusing to take call for the ED, partly due to increased liability risks for medical malpractice and violations of EMTALA. If you don’t take steps to ensure appropriate on-call coverage for your ED, you’re at risk for violations and adverse outcomes.
This program also will update you on any legislative efforts to reimburse hospitals for EMTALA-related services.
