  2. Session Goals • Update on Current MIH Programs in the U.S. • Results of NAEMT/JNEMSF MIH-CP Survey

  3. “Mobile Integrated Healthcare is an innovative and patient-centered approach to meeting the needs of patients and their families. The model does require you to “flip” your thinking about almost everything – from roles for health care providers, to what an EMT or paramedic might do to care for a patient in their home, to how we will get paid for care in the future. The authors teach us how to flip our thinking about using home visits to assess safety and health. They encourage us to segment patients and design new ways to relate to and support these patients. And they urge us to use all of the assets in a community to get to better care. This is our shared professional challenge, and it will take new models, new relationships, and new skills. “ Maureen Bisognano President and CEO Institute for Healthcare Improvement

  4. MIH-CP Program Updates

  5. Dallas Fire-Rescue to offer home health care checkups By TRISTAN HALLMAN 18 November 2013 Most doctors don’t make house calls anymore. But some Dallas-Fire Rescue paramedics soon will. A pilot program starting next year calls for paramedics to visit the homes of frequent 911 callers. The idea behind the Mobile Community Healthcare Program is to try to prevent and reduce health emergencies, officials said Monday at a Dallas City Council public safety committee hearing. Assistant Fire Chief Norman Seals, who oversees the EMS bureau, told members of the City Council’s Public Safety Committee that he was “really fired up” about the program. He said he hopes to expand it as he restructures some EMS services. The plan drew praise from committee members. “This is a fantastic program,” council member Sandy Greyson said. “This is what we’ve been needing for a long time. This is the way to go. … This is really the future.”

  6. Firefighter, nurse practitioner team up for 'urgent care on wheels' Jan 23, 2013 - MESA, Ariz. - The Mesa Fire Department is getting some national attention for a program that started back in August. It's an idea that may be helping with overcrowded emergency rooms. For the past six months, a Mesa Fire Captain has been teamed up with a nurse practitioner to respond to low-level emergencies. Mesa Fire/Medical teamed up with Mountain Vista Hospital, pairing up Fire Captain Brent Burgett and nurse practitioner Tom Morris to respond to low-level emergencies.

  7. Green Bay Hospital Enlists Fire Department To Visit Patients At Home April 29, 2013 Bellin Health, a major healthcare provider in northeastern Wisconsin, is teaming up with the Green Bay fire department to check up on patients. Bellin Hospital is paying the city $50 each time firefighters are dispatched at Bellin’s request to make house calls on discharged patients. As a bonus, she says, firefighters found a problem with a smoke detector in one patient’s house.

  8. Ontario Expanding Community Role for Paramedics Community Paramedicine Programs Improving Access to Care for Seniors January 21, 2014 “Ontario is supporting the expansion of community paramedicine programs to improve access to home care and community support services for seniors and other patients with chronic conditions. The province is investing $6 million to support the expansion and development of community paramedicine initiatives across the province. These programs allow paramedics to apply their training and skills beyond the traditional role of emergency response…”

  9. “Community Paramedicine programs help patients get the care they need in their communities, while reducing unnecessary emergency room visits and hospital admissions. These new supports for community paramedicine will also help seniors and patients with chronic conditions manage their conditions better and stay healthy.” Deb Matthews Minister of Health and Long-Term Care
