Rule 15-16-1-41.83.25 - Transfer of Unstable Patients from FED to Acute Care Hospital

Once the patient is determined to require a higher level of care than can be provided at the FED, the physician shall immediately contact the designated EMS for transport. If the EMS is based on site, the transport team will be notified immediately. The physician will stabilize the emergency medical condition and determine the transfer destination based on the specialized capabilities of facilities that are offered at local hospitals. The FED facility will implement all procedures and protocols for acutely ill patients before departure from the FED. Such conditions would include, but not be limited to, STEMI, acute ischemic stroke, and cardiac arrests. All electronic medical records and any diagnostic test results will be transported with the patient to the receiving facility. Should a patient meeting trauma system activation requirements arrive at the FED, the FED will transfer the patient in accordance with the federal EMTALA regulations and the MS State Board of Health approved System of Care Plans.
