If found to be effective, the simplicity of the community paramedicine model allows it to be scalable in various ways for EMS services across the country. It could also be expanded to include management of several other conditions. Funding is only getting tighter and health care capacities will be increasingly challenged in the coming years - innovation in how we use existing resources is the future of health system improvement. Community paramedicine is a perfect example of this type of innovation and our project will provide the evidence needed by decision makers and knowledge users to significantly impact primary care policy making for the future.
