Emergency medical center” means a facility that is structurally separate and distinct from a hospital; is staffed by doctors, nurses and medical support staff; is open twenty-four hours; provides level 3 to level 5 trauma and emergency medical care and may have an ambulance bay to allow for hospital transport. Services typically include imaging and radiology services and equipment that may include CT scanners, ultrasounds and x-ray machines, and an on-site lab. Emergency medical centers do not have operating or inpatient rooms, meaning patients who need hospital admission for observation, enhanced treatment or surgeries are transported to a hospital.
