Paramedics extend your medical care into the home.
Paramedics extend your medical care into the home.
When you refer your patient living with CHF, COPD, CKD, or other complex condition, the paramedic performs a complete clinical and home environment evaluation. Initial and weekly home visit and care plan progress reports enable you to stay on top of any concerning patient condition changes. Self-care education reinforces what you are teaching the patient during visits to your office. Consult with your patient face-to-face via telehealth during any paramedic home visit.
