Observers in Emergency Medical Settings

Emergency physicians, hospital administrators, and managers often receive requests for outside individuals to be present and observe patient encounters in the emergency department or out-of-hospital care settings. Observers may be members of the institution's health care team or enrolled in the institution's health care professional educational programs, such as those for medical, midlevel provider, paramedic, or other health practitioner students. Because these programs are part of the institution's educational mission, such learners should usually be permitted access as observers.
