Parkland’s Mandates • As the payer of last resort, Parkland is mandated by Federal law to treat those who are in need, whether indigent, uninsured, undocumented or legal citizens • Under the Federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), a hospital with an emergency department must provide any individual who comes to its emergency department with an appropriate medical screening to determine whether or not an emergency condition exists, and if it does the hospital must stabilize and treat the patient (42 U.S.C. § 1385dd(a) & 42 U.S.C. § 1395dd(b) and (c)) • By law (42 U.S.C. § 1395dd(g)), hospitals with specialized facilities such as burn units, shock-trauma centers, or neonatal intensive care units shall not refuse to accept an appropriate transfer of an individual who requires such specialized capabilities or facilities if the hospital has the capacity to treat the individual
