A detailed Table of Contents and extensive index allows quick access to the exact issue you wish to address.

Each topic typically is one to two pages in length and includes:
  • Rule: A quick version of the official EMTALA provisions or practical rule with a key to where the answer came from;
  • Application: A discription of how the rule applies or is enforced in EMTALA situations in real life;
  • Documentation: A discription of what specific documentation items are required for compliance and recommended for risk management considerations;
  • Caution:Practical warnings based on the author's 18+ years of EMTALA compliance cases and plans of correction. EMTALA is not always what it appears, and physician or hospital interpretations are often well-intentioned but dangerous.
