The EMTALA manual was updated in 2019. There were seven recent documents or survey memos that have promulgated by CMS related to EMTALA. Although the OIG regulations are not contained in the CMS EMTALA CoP manual, it is important for all hospitals to be aware of those regulations.
EMTALA should now be on the radar screen for every hospital. There have been a recent increased number of deficiencies and increased CMS and OIG activity, and it is important that hospitals are prepared should a CMS surveyor arrive at your hospital today to investigate an EMTALA complaint.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this webinar, participants should be able to:
- Describe that the hospital must maintain a central log.
- Discuss the requirement that hospitals maintain a specific list of physicians who are on call to evaluate emergency department patients.
- Describe the CMS requirements on what must be in the EMTALA sign.
Target audience: CEO's, CFO's, COO's, CMO's, CNO's, Physicians, Medical Staff Coordinator, Compliance Officer, Joint Commission Coordinator, Quality Improvement personnel, Risk Manager, HIPAA Director and Legal Counsel.
