Under the conditions of the transfer outlined by EMTALA, the transferring hospital is required to send all available medical documentation related to the emergency condition to the receiving facility.
According to EMTALA, when a patient is transferred, the transferring hospital must include all available medical documentation related to the patient's emergency condition. This information is critical to ensure continuity of care and to provide the receiving facility with adequate information to properly care for the patient. The lack of comprehensive medical documentation can lead to care delays, inadequate treatment at the receiving facility, and potential harm to the patient, which EMTALA seeks to prevent.
