Community Paramedicine - Healthcare Providers
Service Details
Description
If you are a Health Care Provider, you can submit a referral to help your patient stay well at home. Community Paramedics can provide the following: • 24/7 non-emergency contact: assessments under medical supervision or treatment of minor conditions (e.g. falls, minor lacerations, bruises). • Responding to changing circumstances or medical conditions and connecting to the right health care provider/social services to avoid escalation and crisis. • Remote patient monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, blood glucose, weight, and/or temperature. All required equipment will be provided and the patient will be trained by the CP before using. • Clinical Interventions such as diagnostics (specimen collections, 12/15 lead ECGs, vital signs), immunizations, vaccinations (e.g., Tetanus), minor wound care, coordination of community services, observational and focused assessments. • Other controlled medical procedures and treatments at home under appropriate medical supervision (e.g., blood draws, point of care blood testing, some medication administration, etc.). Please note, this program does not duplicate other referral pathways already in place within our healthcare system.
