As you\u2019ll see, there are ways for the dedicated community leader to blaze new trails\u2014even when it seems difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Look Into Community Paramedicine Grants to Increase Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, take some time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.julota.com\/news\/how-to-get-community-paramedicine-grants\/\">research grants for mobile integrated healthcare<\/a>. There are more out there than you might think, and this can be a great way to start. A grant won\u2019t sustain your program in the long run, but it can be the rocket fuel you need to get your program in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main benefits of a grant is that it allows you to pay paramedics more, attracting more talent to your program. Whether operating as a fire department, private EMS company, or clinic, a grant can help you attract talent and build resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of the grant money as a \u201ctrial period.\u201d During this time, the goal is to build the program to a point where it consistently meets goals and becomes sustainable. Once you reach this point, it\u2019s time to start reaching out to partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reach Out to Community Partners and Combine Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While a grant might give your program a turbo-charged boost, community partnerships will fuel it over the long run. Most areas take this route to build a sustainable program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do these partnerships help with resources? Let\u2019s look at an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you\u2019re an average-sized EMS agency. Like everyone, you\u2019re short-staffed but would like to implement a mobile health program to help with the uptick in mental health calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, you could contact the local mental health facilities and discuss collaboration efforts. Perhaps the facility has trained staff who would be available to respond to mental health calls in the field, maybe as part of a co-responder program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If so, your EMS agency might provide the dispatching and response, and the mental health program could provide the personnel. Each side fills half the puzzle. Alone, neither side would be able to do anything, but together, you\u2019ve found a way to make something happen. That\u2019s the power of partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recruiting EMS Staff: Many Paramedics are Interested in Community Paramedicine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, you might not have enough paramedics to go around. However, many areas use \u201ccommunity paramedicine\u201d as a magnet for new talent. Paramedics are excited about community paramedicine; many will actively look for EMS jobs where community paramedicine work is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, instead of thinking about a community paramedic program as a strain on your already overworked staff, consider ways you could use the program to attract new talent, thus reducing the strain on everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Health professionals like to be on the cutting edge, and many areas have been able to positively recruit and maintain staff through intuitive programs like community paramedicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start with Community Paramedic Programs That Don\u2019t Require More Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While a community paramedic program may seem like a daunting extension to your current organization, it doesn\u2019t have to be. In the future, you can worry about investing in expensive equipment and advanced practices, but right now, you only need to adopt some new protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ideas might be an <em>alternative destination<\/em> program. This program will allow your current ambulances to transport patients somewhere other than the ER. These programs don\u2019t require new staff or equipment, and they can make a big difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other programs \u2013 tiered response and co-responder teams &#8211; that are more about changing protocols than expanding your staff or equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider the Cost but Also Consider the Benefits of Community Paramedic Programs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to dismiss a new idea with a simple statement like, \u201cWe\u2019re too busy. We don\u2019t have the time or the money.\u201d And this kind of thinking is fair enough \u2013 times are tough for many public health organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, before making this dismissal, we should consider the value gained and lost. Let\u2019s look at an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you have several patients who frequently access the 911 system, which may represent a significant portion of your calls. Often, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov\/reports\/statbriefs\/sb221-Super-Utilizer-ED-Visits-Payer-2014.jsp\">super-utilizers<\/a> drain organizations of three things: time, money, and personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time was lost trying to direct them to more appropriate care, money was lost due to resources expended and low reimbursement, and personnel were lost due to frustration. These issues represent the cost of letting the problem fester. Now, weigh these costs against the cost of implementing a community paramedic program (that could solve these problems).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After reviewing the numbers, you might find that the benefits of a community paramedic program outweigh the costs \u2013 indeed, this has been the experience of successful organizations nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try to Build Community Support (Town Halls, City Events)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Community backing is essential. If you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.julota.com\/news\/how-to-build-community-support-for-mobile-integrated-healthcare-community-paramedicine-mih-cp\/\">drum up support<\/a> at town hall meetings, you\u2019ll be several steps closer to establishing a solid community paramedicine program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the residents of a city see that a community paramedic program could improve the response to overdoses, streamline mental healthcare, and free up ambulances for true emergencies, they will be more likely to push local leaders to direct resources your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Be Afraid to Start Small MIH Programs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have the resources for a large community paramedic program, don\u2019t worry\u2014many areas don\u2019t. However, doing what you can with what you have can go a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you only have the resources to operate a community paramedic unit twice a month. While it may seem that results are far away, this small step can make the difference in proving your program\u2019s effectiveness with more significant partners \u2013 partners who may have more resources to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s go over a bonus tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus Tip: Have the Communication Tools in Place for an Effective MIH-CP Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re making partnerships for a mobile integrated health program, it\u2019s crucial that different providers can communicate without inhibition. Good communication is like the miracle-grow that can make your program flourish. And bad communication can ruin things fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just think about watching a video on the Internet. If you click on a video only to find the audio quality is horrible, you immediately click away. It doesn\u2019t matter if the information in the video was stellar\u2014you couldn\u2019t hear it, so the relationship between you and the video ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same thing can happen in community paramedicine. You might have a great idea, but if your partners can\u2019t efficiently work with you, they will soon become frustrated and, metaphorically speaking, click the exit button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.julota.com\/news\/how-software-tools-support-mobile-integrated-healthcare\/\">Software tools<\/a> like Julota ensure that your communication with partners is clear and compelling. Starting a community paramedicine program is hard enough; you don\u2019t need poor communication to add to the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s go over a few final thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: You Can Find the Resources for a Mobile Integrated Healthcare Program (Even when resources are stretched)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A community paramedic program requires time and energy. However, the dedicated agency reaps many rewards. Even during tough times, when it might seem like there aren\u2019t enough resources, a community paramedic program is still feasible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to consider that a community paramedicine program might reduce your overall expended resources \u2013 especially when the program targets an area of waste, such as unnecessary 911 calls. Also, realize that programs like alternative destination transport require very few extra resources \u2013 this is simply a helpful new protocol that follows the MIH-CP model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For allocating proper resources to your Community Paramedicine program, consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.julota.com\/contact-us\/\">contacting Julota<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Would you like to start a community paramedic program but feel restrained by a lack of staff and funding?
