Improving Outcomes in Emergency Cardiovascular Care

Cardiovascular emergencies remain among the most time-sensitive and high-risk conditions encountered in healthcare today. Despite advances in emergency response systems, significant variation in patient outcomes persists—often driven by differences in in-hospital processes, diagnostic timeliness, and care coordination.

The session will

• Enable participants to gain practical, evidence-informed strategies to improve consistency, strengthen team-based care, and enhance diagnostic and treatment efficiency.
• Address opportunities to better integrate technology, optimize care coordination, and improve patient engagement to support earlier recognition and intervention.
• Provide actionable insights to help drive meaningful improvements in emergency cardiovascular care and patient outcomes.

Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act Essentials: Avoiding Common Pitfalls

EMTALA is designed to ensure emergency care for all patients, but compliance often goes beyond its basic intent. Violations can arise from routine clinical decisions, transfers, and hospital processes that may seem appropriate but don’t align with regulatory requirements.

In this session, featuring insights from a medical director overseeing the Acentra EMTALA physician review team, you’ll learn:

• The specific regulatory language that trips up hospitals, not just the general principles
• Common, high-risk clinical scenarios that unexpectedly lead to EMTALA violations
• The hidden landmines in patient transfers, on-call coverage, and specialty consultations
• How to structure policies and documentation to withstand regulatory scrutiny
• Practical strategies to protect your institution from citations while maintaining excellent patient care

Presented by: Ari Lapin, MD, Associate Medical Director, Acentra Health, EMTALA

Who is the webinar for?

Emergency physicians, hospitalists, risk management professionals, compliance officers, hospital administrators, and clinical leaders responsible for EMTALA compliance.
