ShurMed’s MIH-CP (Mobile Integrated Healthcare and Community Paramedic) programs are a new innovative way to deliver community-based care that aligns with value base medicine initiatives in support of population management, patient-centered care, healthcare accessibility, reduced costs, and high quality healthcare. Our approach is designed to augment other patient-centered delivery models by providing an optimized mix of healthcare and patient navigation while utilizing community paramedic interventions and additional service lines such as telephonic triage, alternate (non-ED) destinations, in-home assessments, and the use of specialty providers as part of the EMS system response (NP’s, PA’s, RNs, social workers, behavioral health specialist) Our programs provide a data-driven and proven solution to assist healthcare organizations and institutions with filling gaps in local healthcare delivery systems and community needs. The programs utilize EMS providers with an expanded scope of practice, using non-emergent resources, responding into the community to care for patients.
Shurmed EMS in collaboration with Arclight Medical provides a full-service customizable program. Our programs can focus on a variety of areas of healthcare, including:
Our MIH programs looks to partner with hospitals, accountable care organizations, primary care physicians, nurses, and mental health and social services providers on innovative programs that navigate patients to the right place and level of care. The goal: to lower costs, improve care, and enable EMS practitioners including EMTs, Paramedics, and Community Paramedics – to use their skills and resources to help solve the problems facing healthcare systems and communities.
