520 |a"The traditional role of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) systems is to respond to emergency calls. Today’s EMS and paramedic systems, however, provide a critical bridge between the hospital and the community, frequently offering specialized primary care services such as Community Paramedics (CPs). These programmes deliver complex high needs patients, such as the frail elderly, with timely access to primary and urgent healthcare in the community, especially in the continuing care setting. In collaboration with the patient’s family physician or a program specific on-call physician, additional on-site assessments, diagnostics and treatments are provided in the community by specially-trained paramedics. Often this care prevents the patient from being transported to an acute care facility, which has positive implications for the patient’s physical and mental health and eases the burden of overcrowding on Emergency Departments and other health care services"--Introduction, page 7.
