ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
No law enacted before, or since, EMTALA has had a bigger impact on the way you and your hospital must examine and treat emergency department patients. This ACEP “gold standard” is an authoritative EMTALA reference, and still your best resource on the “antidumping” law.
Written by Robert A. Bitterman, MD, JD, FACEP, a practicing emergency physician, attorney, and EMTALA expert. It’s the “inside scoop” you can count on.
Supplement
Final EMTALA regulations went into effect November 10, 2003. To keep this ACEP best-seller current, Dr. Bitterman wrote a supplement. It explains the regulatory changes and how they affect the content in the book. Because it addresses only the changes in the final regulations, the supplement must be read in conjunction with the original 2001 publication to ensure a complete understanding of the law and the regulations and how they are enforced. Purchasers of the original 2001 publication can download one copy of the supplement at no extra cost.
