Community Paramedicine is a model of health care that utilizes #EMTs and #Paramedics to provide underserved populations with the resources and services that they might not otherwise have access to.🚑 #ph260720 #communityparamedicine
As a physician, and a patient, I am deeply frustrated and saddened that our government chooses to prioritize elective surgical waitlists over our primary care system in order to achieve savings. Primary care is the foundation of the Canadian health care system. (1/12)
Alberta is the highest ranked for #PatientMedicalHome in Canada. Innovations like complex modifiers, which compensate physicians for spending the time required, enable us to provide comprehensive and preventative care. The value to our system is there if you look for it. (2/12)
HQCA reported that by providing comprehensive care we can save the system more money than our physicians cost it. Patients have fewer ER visits and hospital admissions. If each Albertan received excellent comprehensive care, it could save the system $1B per year. (3/12)
