Transcription

1 Statewide Community Paramedicine/Mobile Integrated Healthcare Florida Rural Health Association Annual Meeting, Orlando, November 20, 2014 The Community Paramedic model, based on international best practices, is a potential solution that provides access to essential healthcare services. With 30 rural counties in Florida, as well as the high state uninsured rate (20.6%), high uninsured rate in Florida s rural counties (34.4% in 2011), and shortage of healthcare providers in rural communities, the Community Paramedicine or Mobile Integrated Healthcare model can provide a proven solution. The collaboration between Public Health, primary care and EMS has been instrumental to the early success of programs all over the country and presenters will provide a day long track at the FRHA Annual Meeting to guide the Florida EMS community to develop Mobile Integrated Healthcare Programs in their communities.
