Health care delivery systems are increasingly incorporating alternative roles into care teams, including community health workers, volunteers, neighborhood navigators, community paramedics, or pharmacists, so that systems can better serve individuals with complex medical and social needs.
This webinar will discuss two community paramedicine programs serving high-need patient populations in Wisconsin and Massachusetts. ThedaCare in northeastern Wisconsin will present about its partnership with Gold Cross Ambulance Services to launch a community paramedicine program aimed at reducing unnecessary emergency department (ED) visits and expanding access to care for high-risk patients. Commonwealth Care Alliance will discuss its pilot program, Acute Community Care (ACC), and the ways in which it has positively impacted patient care, satisfaction, and outcomes among individuals dually eligible for Medicaid and Medicare. State health officials, providers, health plans and other interested stakeholders are encouraged to join this 90-minute webinar.
This webinar will take place on May 11, 2017 from 1:30 - 3:00 p.m. ET.
