Explain what emalta is to the new er physician


Question: You just received a 57-year old man in the Emergency Room (ER) who suffered a heart attack and he has no health insurance or other means to pay for his care. The hospital's young new ER physician is concerned about the hospital not being compensated and she suggests the patient be air lifted to a major university hospital in Lucas County, Ohio. After screening the patient, she says Henry County Hospital could provide all the necessary care, but she feels that the hospital is too small to absorb the cost. Briefly explain what EMALTA is to the new ER physician and why you can't ship the patient off to another hospital. Remember to mention how EMTALA relates to the "no-duty principle."
