Community Paramedicine Program - Healthcare Providers
Organization: Peterborough County - Paramedics
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:
- 24/7 non-emergency contact: assessments under medical supervision or treatment of minor conditions (e.g. falls, lacerations, bruises).
- Responding to changing circumstances or medical conditions and connecting to the right health care provider/social services to avoid escalation and crisis.
- 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.)
- Immunization, vaccination and other injections (COVID, Pneumovax, Influenza, Shingrix).
- Clinical Interventions such as diagnostics (specimen collections, 12/15 lead ECGs, vital signs), minor wound care, coordination of community services, observational and focused assessments.
- Point of care urinalysis (excluding urine culture) and blood tests including: A1C, INR, pH, pCO2, pO2, TCO2, Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, Hct, Glu, Lac, Crea, BUN, and Urea. Currently, we do not offer CBC testing. - Other controlled medical procedures and treatments at home under appropriate medical supervision.
