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:
• Responding to changing circumstances or medical conditions and connecting to the right health care provider/social services to avoid escalation and crisis.
• Clinical Interventions such as diagnostics (specimen collections, 12/15 lead ECGs, vital signs), minor wound care, coordination of community services, observational and focused assessments.
• 24/7 non-emergency contact: assessments under medical supervision or treatment of minor conditions (e.g. falls, lacerations, bruises).
• Immunization, vaccination and other injections (e.g. tetanus).
• 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.
• Other controlled medical procedures and treatments at home under appropriate medical supervision

Please note, this program does not duplicate other referral pathways already in place within our healthcare system. If request is urgent, please call 705-457-3216.
