AHA Statement on Supreme Court Decision in EMTALA Case

While we are pleased that the Supreme Court鈥檚 decision to dismiss these cases as improvidently granted will restore the temporary stay on Idaho鈥檚 law, we are disappointed that physicians, nurses, and other clinicians across the country still do not have needed clarity. Caregivers must be able to exercise their professional judgment about a patient鈥檚 care as federal law requires under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) without the fear of criminal prosecution. We continue to urge courts to protect clinicians as they seek to provide emergency care to their patients.
