What this means is that another medical facility, or lawyers office cannot just call/fax requesting information and require for it to be released without a signed consent form. Secondly, set specified standards as to the patients’ rights to keep their information private. An example is that we used to disclose the spouses lab reports, or medical information without a release, however now that is impossible. Lastly, to make sure that every administrative safeguard was in place to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the patient.

...miles from their home base, these adventurous persons discovered that the safety net of emergency services and in particular emergency medical services became more and more fragmented. Now, communication technology has helped fill this gap, not only for the distant traveler in far-flung corners of the world, but for residents in developed countries that still face a fragmented infrastructure for summoning emergency medical assistance.

...In the firehouse, the tones sound for an emergency call, someone has overdosed and needs emergency medical care. Firefighters arrive on the scene to find an unconscious, unresponsive patient lying on the floor of the bathroom from a heroin overdose, while family members watch in terror. This scenario plays out across the United States hundreds if not thousands of times each day. When this scenario plays out, every firefighter knows they have just minutes to respond, which can be the difference between life or death. For this case study, in the last twelve months, 57 people in Anytown, USA, a city of 250,000 residents, have lost their lives due to drug addiction. The problem is an opiate, and heroin overdoses are killing people in this city at the rate of just over one person a week with no end in sight. What can be done to fix this growing problem and who should fix it? The problem is vast and multifaceted and will require a Taskforce comprised of Federal, State, local, and private partners and stakeholders to address this complicated issue. The Anytown Fire Department(AFD) is comprised of approximately 400 firefighters and supervisors that currently respond to urgent medical emergencies as first responders only.

...Running head: RIGHT TO EMERGENCY CARE The Right to Emergency Care Including the Needs of the Psychiatric Patient Abstract The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act came about in 1986, but was sought after as far back as the 1960s. This law requires emergency care to individuals regardless of ability to pay. EMTALA requires examination and treatment of individuals who present with an emergency medical condition and/or women who present in labor. This law is applicable to all hospitals that participate in the federal Medicare program. EMTALA should not be confused with medical malpractice law. EMTALA also applies to individuals who present with acute symptoms of psychiatric illness and/or substance abuse. The Right to Emergency Care Including the Needs of the Psychiatric Patient The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) requires access to emergency care regardless of an individual’s ability to pay. EMTALA may also be known as the Anti-Patient Dumping Statute. Regardless of the lack of duty to admit or serve all who present for treatment, a hospital emergency department is an exception to the rule (Showalter, 2015). A hospital emergency department has a duty to “evaluate all patients who present for service and to render emergency care to those who need it” (Showalter, 2015). The need for EMTALA was starting to be recognized in the 1960s (Showalter, 2015). According to Showalter in his text, EMTALA was developed with the “philosophy that healthcare...
