The policies and procedures shall provide for readily available on-site equipment and supplies and the appropriately trained staff necessary to administer emergency care protocols; prearranged obtainability of ambulance services for transporting a patient to a local hospital when emergency services are required and notification of the patient’s next of kin or a responsible party when such transport is required; a written transfer agreement between the ambulatory surgical center and at least one local hospital that requires the hospital to accept a patient requiring emergency care being transferred from the ambulatory surgical center to the hospital; and the documentation required to accompany a patient to the hospital to be submitted by the ambulatory surgical center to the receiving hospital at the time the patient is transferred for emergency care.
