We know the EMTALA guidelines for the ER log book. I’m looking for the State of Georgia guidelines. Can anyone help me?

EMTALA is a federal initiative. I don’t believe that Georgia has state specific requirements that differ from the Federal regulation. You can find the fed regulation at Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), 42 U.S.C., Section 1395dd. HCA has some EMTALA policies for specific states at http://ec.hcahealthcare.com/CustomPage.asp?guidCustomContentID=%7B1DC84062-09B0-4B71-9D8E-F72F85D8C630%7D
