I have looked at the information that you provided and it still has nothing governing inpatient to emergency room transports. I will need to provide written prof that this is okay. All help is greatly appreciated. Task

Thank you. I will take a look at it.

Hello all. I was recently approched by my VP who wants to know where to find the EMTALA or COBRA guidelines that states that one facility can transfer an inpatient to an emergency department. I have looked the web over and have found no such thing that says they can or can't. I have been told over the years that the transfering facility can transfer to an ED if it is a higher level of care. We have all come to accept that but my VP will want to see the document that states this is possible. Does anyone know of a guideline, link, or other materials to help me out? Thanks in advance. Task
