Answer Happy

Write a 1,000-1,250 word paper in which you analyze a scenario
using the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act
(EMTALA).
You are the administrator on call for Hospital A and are
responsible for accepting and rejecting patients. You receive a
call at 2:00 a.m. from Health Hospital B regarding a patient with a
severed ear.
The ED physician is calling to arrange an EMTALA-qualified
transfer from his hospital to yours, but the ENT physician on call
at your hospital is refusing to accept the transfer, stating that
the patient does not need a higher level of care.
You call your ENT on call, and he admits he has just had three
glasses of wine and will not be available for about 6
hours. You electronically send him the record that Health
Hospital B would send with the patient. The ENT physician
advises that the ear looks salvageable and could easily be sutured
in any ED. The ED physician at Health Hospital B is very nervous
about the possibility of an EMTALA violation.
