For such a short and simple word, acute has a rather confusing range of meanings. It first entered the English language with a medical meaning, referring to the severity or severity of a symptom.
It retains this meaning even today, but can also refer to the gravity of more general issues, such as „acute embarrassment“ or „acute deficiency.“ EMTALA was enacted by Congress in 1986 as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985 (42 U.S.C. §1395dd). Its original intent and objectives are consistent with CAPE`s mission and public confidence in emergency physicians. By law, EMTALA applies when a person „comes to the emergency room.“ CMS defines a dedicated emergency room as „a specially equipped and staffed area of the hospital that has taken a significant portion of the time to initially assess and treat outpatients for emergency medical conditions.“ This means, for example, that outpatient hospital clinics that are not equipped for medical emergencies are not required under EMTALA and can simply refer patients to a nearby emergency room for care. 14th century, as defined in 1a (1) An undesirable patient result, inadequate screening or misconduct does not necessarily indicate a violation of EMTALA; However, a violation can also be cited without adverse outcome. There is no violation if a patient refuses examination and/or treatment unless there is evidence of coercion. What made you decide to look for it in this dictionary?
