Description of CME Course
A current imbalance in the our perinatal care system has led to inappropriate, unsafe, and lack of transports in clinically relevant patients, as well as, risk of costly EMTALA violations by hospitals and physicians. In an effort to encourage safe transport and balance care within the perinatal care system, ACOG & SMFM established and defined five maternal levels of care in 2015. This monograph compares and contrasts the 2015 maternal and the 2012 AAP neonatal level of care guidelines in detail, their implications on the safe transport of mothers and infants, and recommendations on how to limit EMTALA violations.
