Service Details
Description
In collaboration with existing services, Community Paramedics act as an extension of primary care and serve the needs of the Renfrew County community. Home visits are conducted by advanced care paramedics throughout the County of Renfrew. Paramedics complete thorough assessments, vital signs, point of care testing, medication administration, vaccinations and blood work. All of the information from each home visit is then relayed to the patient's primary care provider.
Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is used to assess for presence of various pathologies. This is not a comprehensive (formal) ultrasound examination.
