Community Paramedicine/ Mobile Integrated Healthcare Elizabeth Westfall, IDHS Nathanial Metz, Prompt Ambulance Service Steve Davison, Fishers Fire Department
Goals of this presentation. • For our audience to learn about the Community Paramedicine role in MIHS and how Indiana is collaborating to make this program operational • Learn how other providers can collaborate with your EMS agencies to develop Community Paramedic programs in your communities. • Identify some of the potential roadblocks that exist for the programs creation.
Understanding our environment. • Per Capita Spending. Guess Who?
The proliferated problem • Population? • 2010-2031 population over 65 will triple. Will we be Healthy? CDC states: In that population, 1 in 3 will be Obese 1 in 4 will have diabetes 1 in 2 arthritis 3 in 5 will have a chronic medical condition
The Emergency Dilemma… • CDC and RAND corporation • Over reliance on ER for Primary Care • Expensive care in an unnecessarily expensive setting.
“Regardless of your position on the Affordable Care Act (ACA), its intent is to move the U.S. healthcare system away from one that provides financial incentives based on the quantity of services to incentives based on the outcomes of care. Two of the most significant drivers of this change are payments to groups of providers based on the outcome of the bundled episode of care, and shared savings programs where groups of providers collaborate to share the savings generated from quality and logical courses of care.” “What Community Paramedicine is and why it’s the future of our profession” by Matt Zavadsky
What is Community Paramedicine? Remember This? A service designed for health care cost reduction A service to increase continuity of care between providers Specified response to health care gaps in our individual communities Look Familiar?
