In September 2020, the Ministry of Long-Term Care released a strategic plan COVID-19: Long-term care preparedness, which committed to looking at innovative solutions to provide care where & when needed- mobilising the skills of #community #paramedics https://tinyurl.com/yyh9dg7p
Details of the new #Community #Paramedicine for #Long #Term Care program were released 30 October https://bit.ly/2JjayuQ
Phase one of the program will build on existing community paramedicine programs, delivered through local #paramedic services #health #agedcare @SARRAHealth

It's good to see jurisdictions mobilising the capabilities of #paramedics & expanding #Community #Paramedicine programs to include related long-term care. The benefits of community-based paramedic care have been well-demonstrated by independent research. https://bit.ly/31aOOVt
. @CPatClinic has been funded to scale up across #onhealth with new MLTC expansion funding! It's further evidence of the benefits #paramedicine can bring to #health across all settings including #rural @RuralHC_Aus @NRHAlliance @SARRAHealth @MarkCoultonMP https://twitter.com/CPatClinic/status/1334854419981197313
The Cochrane District is among five regions across Ontario approved for the 3-year pilot program that will see #paramedics extending services to provide #health care & check-ups on home-bound seniors. #community #paramedicine https://timminspress.com/news/local-news/pilot-program-will-see-paramedics-providing-home-care-visits-to-local-seniors
From Midlothian in Scotland comes another insightful example with a great deal of embedded common sense on #healthcare in the #home. It highlights ways in which #nurses & #communityparamedics may be mobilised to provide care in the home. #falls #frailty https://www.facebook.com/ParamedProf/posts/3633520463358347
Patricia very helpfully also provides a link to a Healthcare Improvement Scotland publication on Guiding principles for service development. It's on their iHub webpage. https://ihub.scot/media/6928/2020205-hospital-at-home-guiding-principles.pdf #health #paramedicine
iHub is part of Healthcare Improvement Scotland supporting those delivering #health & #social #care across Scotland to ensure they meet the changing needs of the community. #SDOH https://ihub.scot/about-us/
