Paramedic Chiefs of Canada – Revolutionizing EMS: New Models of Care to Address Changing Health Care Needs in the Age of COVID | January 21st
Across Canada, access to appropriate health care is an ongoing challenge, and pressures within our health care system – wait times, hospital overcrowding, patient backlog – have only been intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. To address these challenges, integrated primary health care teams across the country are working to help patients receive the care they need in their homes and communities, where they are often happiest and healthiest.

- Explored Mobile Integrated Health models at-work in communities across the country.
- Reviewed the evidence and data supporting these models and explore preliminary outcomes.
- Reviewed the challenges and opportunities ahead to create capacity for more community-based care during COVID.
