Are you 100% certain of your organization's compliance with the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA)? One misstep could cost you plenty, in terms of penalties, litigation, community trust and good standing with the Medicare program. But training your key people can be a major logistical challenge - unless you have the right resource. This new book, EMTALA 101: Covering the Basics, gives you an easier, timesaving way to get hospital staff and physicians up to speed. Highlights:

• Concise, clearly written and totally focused on EMTALA compliance.
• Ideal both as a training tool and reference.
• Reviews all major aspects of EMTALA, including key requirements for hospitals and physicians, accompanied by concrete action items.
• EMTALA compliance checklist, real-life examples, practice tips and other learning aids to bring your organization into compliance as quickly as possible.
• Parallels the sequence of the EMTALA statute (updated 2003 version).
• Authored by one of the country's leading EMTALA authorities: attorney and consultant Patricia Brent, author of several books, monographs and articles on healthcare regulatory and compliance issues.
