Hospital Eligibility

Hospital eligibility is assessed on a case-by-case basis based on relative highest need. Considerations in assessing the risk of ED closure due to lack of physician coverage include:

  • the percentage of the ED physician complement being actively recruited for
  • availability and use of staffing alternatives
  • hospital size/ED volumes
  • degree of isolation
  • other factors
