Indiana Now Requires Hospital EDs to Have a Physician On Site

Indiana recently passed legislation that will require every emergency department in the state to have a physician onsite and responsible for the ED. Thanks to the tireless advocacy of Indiana ACEP, patients who need emergency care across the state of Indiana now have reassurance that a physician will be in the emergency department at all hours to provide high quality patient care. Indiana ACEP was directly involved in the legislative process from the start. Emergency physician expertise and support was instrumental in developing the language and rallying support for the new law.

“This victory is a strong example of what’s possible with ACEP advocacy and the importance of working with our state chapters,” said Christopher Johnson, ACEP senior director of state government relations. “This is a huge win for emergency physicians and patients, and an undeniable testament to the importance of emergency physician leadership.” Read more at www.acep.org/indiana-victory.
