Abstract

Abstract Under the Emergency Medicine Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), every patient who presents to an emergency department must receive a Medical Screening Exam (MSE). One approach to meet EMTALA MSE requirements has been the provider in triage (PIT) model. In most PIT models, an advanced practice provider (APP) will obtain an accurate history along with performing a focused physical examination to expedite care for the patient. With telemedicine quickly becoming a mainstream method of health care delivery, many institutions are considering a combination of a PIT model with telemedicine to improve patient throughput.
