This course will encompass two individual programs on emergency and outpatient services. The first hour of the program will cover the CoPs that affect emergency departments. Staffing requirements; provision of services both on and off-campus; EMTALA; required policies and procedures; training requirements; medical director requirements; and compliance with standards of care will be discussed. The requirements for restraint and seclusion, grievances, and protocols will also be reviewed. The second hour of the program will cover proposed changes to the outpatient section, which are published in the Hospital Improvement Act.
