What are your EMTALA obligations during a pandemic?

Flu season is coming and concerns over an H1N1 resurgence are rising.  To make sure hospitals understand their obligations under EMTALA during a disaster or a pandemic, CMS issued, on August 14, 2009, a Survey and Certification Letter.  See CMS S&C-09-52.  The letter has an attached Fact Sheet, which addresses planning for a surge in ED services and waiver rules.
