Emergency Ambulance Transport To Medical Facilities
Patients who are transported under the direction of an emergency medical service system should be taken whenever possible to an in hospital facility that meets the Emergency Care Guidelines of the American College of Emergency Physicians.
The EMS Medical Control Authority should have the discretion to authorize transport to non-in hospital medical facilities that meet the Emergency Care Guidelines under that extraordinary circumstance when lack of timely availability of such an in hospital facility necessitates earlier patient stabilization.
If an area does not have a facility that meets the Emergency Care Guidelines, it may be necessary for the responsible EMS Medical Control Authority to designate some medical facility to receive patients by ambulance. The American College of Emergency Physicians strongly encourages the modification of such facilities to meet the Emergency Care Guidelines of the College, so that every area has a facility capable of providing emergency care.
