Abstract

En 中文
Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is a routine challenge for most hub hospitals, reported by more than 90% of ED medical directors several times each week. Alternate treatment locations are permissible within the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) regulations (with patient consent) as long as hospitals screen and stabilize any patient presenting to an ED.
