Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH)/
Community Paramedicine (CP) Toolkit launched

Mobile Integrated Healthcare-Community Paramedicine (MIH-CP) is an evidence-based, cost-saving, and innovative way for EMTs and Paramedics to provide patient-centered care outside the hospital to improve a patient’s health status, in collaboration with other health care professionals. Intervention before patients need emergency care can save the health care system billions of dollars through avoidance of unnecessary and expensive emergency care and hospitalizations. Through grant funding and new partnerships, MIH/CP programs have been expanding across Kansas with more likely to start up in the near future.

For details on the history of MIH/CP in Kansas and to provide a comprehensive resource on how to start your own program, KEMSA has launched an MIH/CP Toolkit with resources and links for you.
