Introduction
On-Call and EMTALA Policies
November 7, 2017 - 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm (ET)
FACULTY: Phil Zarone and Ian Donaldson
Join us: A key to excellent leadership is excellent learning!
Designed to be informative for any Medical Staff member, 2017’s Grand Rounds should be particularly helpful for Medical Staff Leadership: Medical Staff Officers, members of the Medical Executive Committee, Department Chairs, Chairs of the Credentials and Peer Review Committees, and the Chairs of other key Medical Staff committees.
If you have new members in any of these important positions, this is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for direct education that we guarantee will be helpful to them in their new roles.
Designed to be informative for any Medical Staff member, 2017’s Grand Rounds should be particularly helpful for Medical Staff Leadership: Medical Staff Officers, members of the Medical Executive Committee, Department Chairs, Chairs of the Credentials and Peer Review Committees, and the Chairs of other key Medical Staff committees. EMTALA and its on-call requirements recently had their 30th birthday, but few Hospitals and Medical Staffs celebrated.
While EMTALA responsibilities should no longer be a surprise, it’s still a difficult regulatory scheme that creates ongoing problems for Hospitals and physician leaders.
While this audio conference will focus upon frequent on-call problems many Hospitals still face, we’ll also give an overview of EMTALA’s impact upon the whole Hospital. If you’re dealing with on-call issues and/or having problems with your EMTALA or on-call policies, this is an audio conference you’re not going to want to miss.
Listen live on November 7, 2017. Or, purchase the recording (mp3 or CD) of this audio conference to share with Medical Staff members at an upcoming meeting or throughout the year.
Audio conference registration (includes MP3): $250/line
